HEAR IT DIRECTLY FROM OUR PEOPLE

I have always worked on the manufacturing-side of the business and I love that I can use my engineering skills in such a tangible and impactful way. Over the 6 ½ years that I’ve worked for Knauf, my highlight has been my role in the Central Start Up Team, supporting our new plant in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. It was such a great opportunity to work with a diverse team and experience the different cultures. I also made some great friends in the process!

Becky Wilde

Every day I get to work with great people who help me to develop my own knowledge and skills. I really enjoy the daily problem solving and developing my team, as well as the bigger innovation projects, which are always exciting as an engineer. USG will challenge you to grow professionally while offering a great support system. It is a family-oriented company that always looks out for the best interest of their employees

Every day I am inspired by the spirit of my colleagues, who come from all over the world. I simply enjoy taking the next big digital steps together.

Jessie Aust

Senior Engineering Manager
As I've grown in the company and the number of people I'm responsible for has increased, one thing has become clear to me, people and machines offer completely different qualities. Machines can be calibrated to maximise their efficiency, whereas humans have unique areas of excellence, so with support and encouragement they can exceed your expectations.
