Career Stories
Our product and service portfolio is just as diverse as the spectrum of professions and the projects that await you at Klöckner & Co SE – either at our Headquarters in Duisburg or at any of our locations.
Take a look at what employees from our country organizations and the holding company have to say about their work and jobs at Klöckner:
Kilian Pohl
Senior Strategic Program Manager, kloeckner.i, Berlin
"Since I started working at kloeckner.i GmbH, the IT subsidiary of the Klöckner Group, I have been given the opportunity to develop my knowledge and skills.
One highlight so far has been participating in the Emerging Leadership Program (ELP). This program brings together 16 colleagues from the various subsidiaries and national companies to jointly develop leadership skills and teach learning content relating to digital transformation.
In addition to the professional learning content, the ELP also led to friendships in various areas of Klöckner, from which I still benefit today. Klöckner is open to change, diverse and has managed to anchor the topic of sustainability in its DNA. The strong team spirit and the friendly atmosphere among colleagues complement my positive experiences."
Dr. Stefan Simon
Head of Supply Chain Planning, Kloeckner Metals Germany GmbH, Duisburg
"Klöckner gives me the chance to use my strengths and knowledge – and to live out my special interests, especially in strategic logistics projects. Working with my colleagues, whom I get to know and respect through projects that transcend hierarchical levels and national boundaries, is also a great source of inspiration. It’s just as exciting and challenging to put the more theoretical, strategic findings into practice and bring the success of these concepts to life."
Jamie Pfleger
Director of Physical Vapor Disposition, Kloeckner Metals Corporation, Cincinnati
"What I particularly like about my work at Klöckner is the people - my colleagues and our customers. And I like challenges. There are plenty of them, especially currently in PVD. I can take care of commercial matters and expand on them, but at the same time I look after the operative side. An exciting job."
Alexander Becker
Warehouse / processing employee, Kloeckner Metals Germany GmbH, Duisburg
“I have been with Klöckner since 2019 and have learned and developed a lot during this time. My tasks include receiving and inspecting goods, picking customer orders and operating a variety of machines for preparation and processing. My work is very varied and the working environment is friendly. Klöckner is the ideal employer for me because I feel comfortable here and I am supported in my personal and professional development.”
Ann-Patrice Greenberg
Senior Process Automation & EDI Manager EU, Kloeckner Metals Germany GmbH, Duisburg
"As part of e-business, I am responsible for IT process automation and EDI in the sales stream. As the interface between Sales and IT Development, my main task is to offer Sales the best possible system conditions and to jointly develop innovative solutions that make our processes more efficient. What I particularly appreciate about Klöckner is that all areas work closely together, which increases our efficiency and motivation.
What particularly distinguishes Klöckner for me is our open corporate culture. Internal networks such as Women@Kloeckner and KloecknerPride promote diversity, exchange and collegial cooperation. The opportunity to work in an environment that strongly encourages cross-divisional collaboration and supports professional development makes Klöckner an ideal employer for me."

VP Shared Services, Kloeckner Metals Corporation, Roswell
“I am entering my 25th year at Kloeckner Metals and have the privilege of leading a team of professionals. We are not responsible for the activities that are part of the core business, but we are crucial to the company's day-to-day business. The team manages the entire procure-to-pay process: systems, integrations, Coupa platform, indirect procurement/contract negotiations, supplier master data, invoice processing, match exceptions and supplier payments.
It is important for me and my team to add value and we strive every day to achieve this goal for the company! I have been in this role for four years and the demand for non-core functions has increased significantly. That's what I love about our work in P2P: bundling certain business areas into a central organization that adds value by enabling the business units to focus on their core competencies.
As an employee, I appreciate the opportunities that Klöckner has given me to develop both professionally and personally. The promotion of an environment in which mistakes are seen as part of the growth process and the trust that managers place in me motivate me to push ahead with new ideas for improving the process.”
Amanda Michalik
Junior Expert Group HR, Klöckner & Co SE, Duisburg
"I started my internship at Klöckner & Co SE in Duisburg in February 2024 and have been supporting the Group HR team in the areas of recruitment, personnel development and employer branding ever since. I have been working as a Junior Expert Group HR since September 2024 and have primary responsibility for recruiting at the holding company. I particularly appreciate the varied work and the opportunity to get to know new, interesting people in my daily work environment."
What I particularly like about working at Klöckner is the good interaction within the team: regardless of whether it's with employees or managers - you are recognised, appreciated and receive constructive feedback.’
