Shape our path to becoming a sustainable chemical park operator
What our employees say
I am very fascinated by CHEMPARK and its history. It is very exciting for me to be able to accompany and shape the future transformation of this place. Through the broad spectrum of our business, I always see further potential for me to learn and develop personally. I have a lot of fun moving between different subject areas with a wide variety of colleagues.
I like working at CURRENTA because, for me, the company combines tradition and a willingness to change. I am happy to see that diverse people are coming together in the company and more and more diversity initiatives are being launched. After all, we are all a bit diverse. CURRENTA also supports my personal development and life planning.
I like working at CURRENTA because everyone contributes their personal strengths to the challenges the company faces. I am given a lot of creative freedom in my tasks and my personal development is supported.
The working student position in the field of regulated grids fits in perfectly with my studies in renewable energies. Here I have the opportunity to experience the theory I have learned directly in practice and to actively contribute. By working with experienced colleagues and participating in projects, I gain valuable insights into the energy sector of the chemical industry and can also develop my personal skills.
I like the diversity of my job: it's not just an office job, you often get out into the facilities, are directly involved in what's happening and plan the projects and measures in the office, which you then realise and support on site. I also appreciate our high safety culture. Every process and every job is systematically linked to high safety standards prescribed by CURRENTA at CHEMPARK.

Your progress is our progress
We offer a comprehensive training programme for the professional development of all employees. In addition to seminars, workshops and events for specialists and managers, employees from production, research and technology can also gain extra-occupational qualifications and, for example, become a master craftsman or technician. In addition, we offer seminars developed for CURRENTA, e.g., on leadership and personal responsibility or business management training for engineers/scientists.
Individual programs
Whether it is professional know-how, social and leadership skills or personal coaching: in regular staff meetings you will receive feedback and offers that will bring you to a new level of knowledge.
One-day training - deepening and expanding operationally necessary know-how
How do I work with a new software, which new guidelines and laws are relevant, how does the new system work? Our lecturers ensure that you are always up to date.
In-service training with recognised IHK qualification
Our offer for all those who are aiming for a higher professional qualification, for example as a master craftsman or technician.
Time for further education
We support staff members who complete a further training course with a qualifying degree in their free time at their own expense.
We continue to develop the company. And you.
Employees should be optimally qualified for their current tasks – but also prepared for future requirements and developments. CURRENTA’s HR development supports both managers and employees at every level.
Personnel development at CURRENTA is multifaceted
Our employees would like to gain further qualifications and meet the higher demands of the job market. They want to "move up", take on more demanding tasks and gain "professional quality of life", to name just a few examples.
Everyone has responsibility for personnel development
Recognizing and promoting the abilities and strengths of employees is clearly one of the management tasks; but each individual is also responsible for himself and his personal development. In short, human resources development is everyone's business. The wide range of support and assistance offered to all CURRENTA employees ranges - depending on the task - from training programs to an extension of the job description, job rotation or project tasks to 360° feedback, individual coaching and mentoring. The willingness to engage in dialogue and the exchange of ideas are also part of one's own development. The central element is the annual performance review. Its main purpose is to exchange views in an open and trusting conversation on topics of cooperation that go beyond the pure work process. First and foremost, professional development opportunities are to be discussed and concrete measures agreed upon.
Our management philosophy
The success of our company is based on the motivation, creativity and strong commitment of our employees. This requires a management culture that creates a working environment that supports and continuously develops precisely these three factors. In extensive workshops, we listened to the voices from all areas of the CURRENTA Group to gain a precise understanding of their leadership requirements. On this basis, we developed our leadership model by and for the CURRENTA Group with the important goal of supporting cooperation between managers and employees in a pragmatic and forward-looking way.
