What language should I use to apply and register online?

At the bottom of the job post you will typically be able to find the contact information for the hiring manager, who will be able to answer your questions regarding the job.

What should I do, if I want a job at Grundfos in another country than my home country?
If you already work at Grundfos: Ask your manager if you can work abroad in another country – if yes, your manager should explore the Global Mobility site on Insite and, subsequently, your manager and Global Mobility will guide you.

If you do not work at Grundfos, but you want to apply for a job at Grundfos in another country than your home country: First you need to apply for the job at our job page – attraction will be in charge of the process and if you are selected for a job interview Grundfos will pay for your travel expenses. If you are offered the position, your manager and attraction, supported by Global Mobility, will guide you further through the relocation process.

Can I apply for more than one job?
Yes, you can apply for more than one job.

The job I was intending to apply for is no longer available?
If you are unable to see the job you were intending to apply for, it is because applications have closed. We advise you to submit your application early and prior to the closing date to avoid disappointment.

I have applied for job number two, but my previous application is still shown – why? 
The first page you see when applying for a job is your standard candidate profile page with the CV and cover letter used in the most recent submitted application. When clicking Next at the bottom of the candidate profile page, you are in the application section for the desired job number two. This is where you attach the relevant CV and cover letter for job number two. The CV and cover letter from job number two will be updated to your candidate profile, but not on job number one.   

I have applied for a job and now want to change my CV or cover letter – what do I do? 
You cannot change the CV or cover letter attached to an already submitted application. If you must change the CV or cover letter in the submitted application, you have to withdraw your full application and apply again. Please be aware that if you do not withdraw before applying again, you will get a message saying you have already applied for the job. 

Can I change or attach new documents to my candidate profile after having applied for a job? 
You can always make changes to your candidate profile. However, please be aware that the changes you make to your candidate profile will not apply for already submitted application(s). You will need to attach all relevant documents directly in the application to ensure that they will be taken into account for the specific job.  

How do I manage my candidate profile?
To update your candidate profile, open the Already Registered tab and click here to update. This will open the log-on page. Enter your email and password to update your profile.

How can I delete/withdraw an application?
You can only delete your application if it is still a draft. Once you submit your application, you cannot delete it, but you can withdraw it.

Log on to your profile, click on Job Application. Select the job posting and click on the Withdraw Application button. Confirm your choice in the pop-up window. The status of your application will then have changed.

How can I delete my candidate profile?
Under My Profile, click on the tab Delete Profile.

I have not received a confirmation that my application has been received - what do I do?
When you click Apply, you will receive an email confirmation. 

If you are not sure that your application has been received, open the Job Application tab and check the status of your application.

If you are not receiving any emails, we would suggest that you check the spam filter in your email account.

I am unable to open the job openings – what do I do?

I am trying to register, but I get the error message that my email address is already in use. What does that mean?
This message indicates that you have either already registered in our Talent Pool with the same email or have previously applied for a position from that email address.
