Information
At Enza Zaden, you work with colleagues who are always curious about what can be improved. In the greenhouse, in the lab, in the field, in production, with customers, and behind the scenes. Wherever we work, we contribute to the same mission: making healthy, varied vegetables accessible to people around the world.
That takes craftsmanship, collaboration, and responsibility. It also takes people who take initiative, keep asking questions, and bring ideas forward. As an international family-owned company, we give you the space to contribute in your own way. To our vegetable varieties, to our organization, and to your own development.
Our vegetable varieties are not created in one place, and certainly not by one person. They are the result of collaboration between colleagues, teams, and countries. Breeders, researchers, operators, marketers, sales colleagues, IT specialists, and support teams all bring their own knowledge and experience.
You can feel that collaboration in the way we work. We share knowledge, seek each other out, and build on each other’s ideas. Because when different perspectives come together, we find solutions that truly move us forward.
You are trusted to take responsibility. We believe good ideas can come from anywhere in the organization. That is why we encourage colleagues to think along, take initiative, and look for ways to make things better, smarter, or different.
Sometimes innovation starts with a major research project. Sometimes it starts with a question in the greenhouse, an improvement in a process, or an idea someone explores alongside their day-to-day work. That is how our Friday afternoon projects within R&D began: as a way to explore new ideas and discover new possibilities.
Your development does not follow one fixed path. You learn through your daily work, from experienced colleagues, and through training that fits your role and ambition. Whether you want to deepen your expertise, build new skills, or grow into a different role, there is room to shape your own development.
And you do not have to do it alone. We support you with guidance, training, knowledge sharing, and development opportunities such as the Enza Academy. This helps you keep growing in your work, in a way that fits you and the contribution you want to make.
We are an international company with more than 3,300 colleagues and 40 nationalities worldwide, but our foundation is still that of a family-owned company. You can see this in the way we care for each other, the commitment we bring to our work, and the pride colleagues show when they talk about what they do.
We believe it is important that people feel seen, valued, and supported. Not only in their work, but also as people. That is why we pay attention to wellbeing, healthy ways of working, and activities that bring colleagues together.
