ZITON as a workplace

We strive to create a workplace that feels like home. A workplace that favours a safe environment. And a workplace that offers freedom to excel.

Your new colleagues might feel like a family. They favour honesty and openness, and they will always offer you support when you need it.

Our headquarter is located in Horsens, Denmark. There’s a strong communication between the headquarter on land and our employees at sea. It’s always possible to “call home”, where the administration will do their best to help.

At ZITON, we believe in our employees. We believe in their skills, and their willingness to go the extra mile when needed. We believe that when given responsibility with freedom, our employees have the opportunity to excel.

Who is ZITON?

We are in a significant and continuous development, and we always strive to do our best at all times. Our “Can do. Will do.” attitude makes no task too big or difficult for us when we work together.

CAN DO. WILL DO.

Our Cultural Values

Responsible - we are to be counted on

At ZITON, we believe in our employees, their skills, and their willingness to go the extra mile when needed. We believe that when given responsibility – with freedom – they have the opportunity to excel. The opportunity to contribute to our common goals, and the opportunity to be part of something bigger.

At ZITON, we are to be counted on – now and in the future – and we take responsibility all the way around. For our employees, for our customers, and for our environment.

Professional - we set the bar high

Professionalism permeates everything we do. Our work, our solutions, and our mindset. We are passionate, ambitious, and we set high standards for each other (and our customers). At ZITON, no one is allowed to freewheel, and if we can do better, we do just that. Therefore, we dare to ask the critical questions and delve deep on our own behalf. 

ZITON is for those with true grit. For those who seek personal and professional growth. For those who value progress over perfection. For those who want to make a difference and be part of something bigger. Because we know that great potential requires even greater ambitions.

Brave - we keep going even in tough times

At ZITON, we turn headwind into tailwind. We overcome obstacles – big and small – when they arise, and we grow and learn from our mistakes. We believe that there’s always a solution to an issue, and we work tirelessly to find and implement it. With our fighter mentality and our “Can do. Will do.” attitude, we keep going even when times are tough and challenging, and we keep moving forward.

In unison. Just like it has been from day one.

Together - we work as one unit

We are a diverse group of people, but exactly our diversity makes us who we are. We celebrate the community where there’s room for everyone and for everyone to be heard, and when needed, we help each other and pull together.

At ZITON, we are always on the same team, and both onshore and offshore, there’s a special spirit where professionalism, passion, and courage go hand in hand with integrity, openness, and collaboration.

Honest - we don’t beat around the bush

We strike a blow for honesty – both personally and professionally – as well as open and straightforward communication. We meet each other with an open mindset and a friendly and respectful tone – when we have something positive to share and when there’s bad news coming up.

There should be room to make mistakes, but we should also take responsibility for our errors and acknowledge them so that we can improve and learn together.
