A typical day as a Production Planner in Prejmer starts with reviewing production plans,  checking material availability, constant follow up ,   and analyzing priorities  . The role involves constant coordination with  assembly, logistics, and suppliers, while continuously adjusting schedules based on urgent changes, delays, or capacity constraints. In  this environment, the pace is fast and requires quick, precise decisions to keep production flow stable.
In this role, I have developed strong skills in planning, problem-solving, and communication. I learned how to manage multiple priorities at the same time, understand production constraints, and work effectively with different departments. The experience helped me build resilience and the ability to react quickly to unexpected situations, especially in a complex supply chain environment.
Management is typically very focused on results, delivery performance, and efficiency. There is a strong emphasis on meeting deadlines and improving processes. Clear communication with managers and teams is essential, especially when escalating risks that could impact production or customer deliveries.
The workplace culture is dynamic and collaborative, with strong teamwork across departments such as production, logistics, and quality. In a manufacturing plant like Prejmer, teamwork and flexibility are key, as everyone depends on accurate planning to meet targets. The environment encourages responsibility, continuous improvement, and adaptability.
The hardest part of the job is handling constant changes and disruptions, such as material shortages, delayed deliveries, or sudden priority shifts. These challenges are common in  all industry, where supply chain disruptions and shortages can directly affect production plans.  Maintaining balance under pressure and still meeting targets can be demanding. The most enjoyable part of the job is solving problems and seeing how planning decisions positively impact production. It is very satisfying when the production flow runs smoothly, targets are achieved, and teamwork leads to successful results

What is the best part of working at the company?
Insurance Benefits and PTO

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The lack of support in processes, the unregulated work flow, the lack of accountability for managers and employees who have negative impact on daily productivity and overall company wellness. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Before nVent accursed our company 2 years ago we had a wonderful family oriented, work hard and play hard culture. Now it is cold, all of the different departments work against each other and they hire managers who have no idea what their employees jobs entail. We have been told by upper nVent management that "a manager does not have to know how to do everything that their employees do, they just have to be able to manage them." This seems obserd and explains the lack of support in this company.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
High phone call volumes, high email volumes, you prioritize and run your specific territory with no hand holding or direction. "You fake it till you make it, or you don't make it." Lots of running back and forth to the plant in order to answer stock questions for customers since there is no inventory system.

I don’t know where to start off…the actual work we do isn’t bad, it’s just the management that’s terrible. Having coworkers that get favoritism from higher ups suck. Having first shift act like they’re the golden child and crapping on second shift sucks. My team lead is super nice and treats us all with respect, maybe our supervisor could learn a thing or two from him. I wouldn’t recommend working for this company. They promise you that you’ll get to learn new things then stick you in the same area every day since they have a staffing issue. They tell you that you can go to welding school then send guys who are brand new and haven’t been there as long because they’re buddy buddies with the supervisor. The summer months are heating up the building and it gets super humid and hot. They’re supposed to offer us an extra ten minute break so we can cool off but it hasn’t been “hot enough” yet so all of us are super overheated and some feeling sick from the heat. They care more about numbers than their people. It’s a shame because when I got hired I thought it would be a great place to grow in metal fabrication and learn great skills but I’m going to be leaving with disappointment.

I worked there for a combined total of ten years. Employees who have been there longer get preference over others. Many of those employees are brown nosers not  workers and willing to throw anyone including their own mother under a bus. Hard workers are used until they have nothing left to give then are disposed of. thought i would get that out of the way. 

All that being said, like others have stated there is plenty of overtime, in fact you can expect "at least in the area i worked in" to work no less than 50 hours a week as it will become mandatory. I will say that although pay is not what i feel is industry standard the benefits at the time more than made up for the hourly rate.
Like i said management is ok, however most supervisors lack the basic understanding of what you do. by that i mean most have never done the job your doing, so they rely on those brown nosers i mentioned early on in this review. your job is always at risk due to those employees who have tenor instead of a knowledgeable management team. I would say if you do not have a thick skin and keep to yourself this is not for you. 

I enjoy most of the work I do and the people I work with. My supervisor has been great and clearly wants me to succeed. I have been given most if not all the tools I need to be successful and to learn. I also love the work environment, it is very laidback and relatively flexible. nVent also prefers to hire people from within the company, so there is lots of room for growth and advancement.

The pay and benefits are great. I am a big fan of our medical insurance since it is actually affordable and covers what I need.

The cons of working here is that it is mostly men in the engineering department (I am one of the few females), some mid level managers I work with are extremely difficult to please and do not listen to what you have to say, and it can be difficult to push change since a lot of people push back. All of these issues do not outweigh the positives of working here in my opinion.

My experience working at nVent in Aberdeen was phenomenal. I’ve never worked with such a genuinely caring, fun, hard working and go getter team! If you enjoy being challenged but in a supportive environment where it’s okay to mess up as long as you’re able to own it and keep taking steps to grow personally and professionally then this is the place to be. During my tenure there, I had 2 kiddos. The first one just a month after being hired and still had nothing but support and grace in my new job while learning to also be a new mom. The second kiddo a few years later and my office had a baby shower for me that gave me enough diapers to last 8 months!🤯 The opportunities that I was afforded while working for nVent are unmatched and I will forever be grateful to this company for launching my career, giving me insanely competitive experience and supporting me through some of life’s most sensitive moments. If I could’ve taken me with them when I had to relocate, I would’ve!


I can’t believe it’s already been 90 days—it’s flown by! I’ve really enjoyed settling into my role and learning more about the team and company.
I feel proud of the impact I’ve made in such a short time and grateful for the opportunities to work through processes that help me grow. One of the things I enjoy most is how amazing and kind everyone has been—it’s such a refreshing change! I’m also grateful for nVent’s inclusive and service-oriented culture. Participating in both on-site and off-site volunteer opportunities has been a great way to meet more colleagues and see firsthand how nVent cares for its employees and the community.

I’m truly excited about what the future holds. I appreciate that nVent values employee input and uses it to improve the workplace and attract great talent. I’d be happy to share my feedback and look forward to continuing to contribute and grow with the team!


Those with a kind heart and want to help to increase production are unrecognized by management and are not compensated for their contributions. Those who underperform are ignored and untrained. There will be those who go above and beyond for the company. There will be those who will perform at a minimum. Those people are paid the same. The company will be keeping their pay essentially stagnant while competitors catch up in their pay rate, ridding the company of their advantages. 

There’s many wonderful people to work with. The one thing that brings people together is their unity towards the things they dislike about the company. 

There is minimal investment into the working class portion of the company. There are not many opportunities to promote—not because of positions not opening, but because no one is willing to heave the responsibility of moving up. Work ≠ pay.

Took a Team Lead position here and they came back to me within the first week of me starting in the role, and said they made a mistake and the offer I signed was too much money.Even though it takes them forever to go over your offer and multiple  Made me make a choice of either taking the job at the new, lower rate, or stay in my previous role. Big time favoritism and the yearly performance reviews are just on a curve. You can't actually obtain a decent raise through their system (at least for employees on the shop floor). Fairly steady work, not much of a threat for not having a job to come into everyday. management is scared of making changes and value people who don't work as hard as most of the other employees. Just look for a better company than here, unless it's your last resort.

A typical day at work at work is greeting fellow employees when walk in the door. Go through emails and voice mails. Follow up on tasks from prior days to see if there are updates to be entered in. Manage is fantastic. looking out for their employees to make sure that they have the knowledge to perform their tasks. Work play culture is accommodating they don't look at you harshly or a judge mental way. The hardest part of the job is myself, not thinking that I am picking up the tasks quick enough. Have to remember that you are new to this and that it takes time. The most enjoyable part of the job is the co-workers and the customers. I look forward to coming to work every day.
