The client is a leading, liquid group in the service and energy sector. To strengthen its market position and prepare for the future, the technical branch is being merged into a streamlined, independent business unit. This standalone entity will eventually consist of an organization of approximately 60 to 80 employees (mainly blue collars and project leaders) with its own P&L and payroll.
