RFE & Controls Technology Coordinator

About Us: Munters is a global leader in climate solutions for mission-critical processes. We offer innovative, efficient and sustainable solutions for customers in industries where controlling indoor humidity, temperature and energy efficiency is mission critical. Climate control systems often account for a large percentage of energy consumption in many of our customers’ operations. With an optimal climate system, we can help them to more efficiently use energy or water resources and thereby reduce their climate and environmental impact. Sustainability is an important part of Munters’ business strategy and value creation. We pride ourselves on fostering a dynamic and inclusive work environment where interns are valued members of the team and are given meaningful projects to work on.
