Cargotec established its global business service centre – Cargotec Business Services – in Sofia in 2017. With a team of approximately 450 people now, the office in Bulgaria provides services in the areas of Finance, Human Resources, Indirect Procurement, Information Management, Project Management, Master Data, and Compliance to Cargotec’s business areas.

The employees in the Bulgarian office work with different systems and technologies on large-scale international projects and in close collaboration with Cargotec’s business areas. Cargotec Bulgaria is a company where young specialists and people with no prior experience, but with a desire for learning and development in their chosen career, can also find professional opportunities. The company offers a year-round internship programme for university students, which has been welcoming interns to the Finance, Human Resources and Indirect Procurement departments since 2019.

To support the growth and development of its people, Cargotec Bulgaria conducts employee development programmes and provides access to internationally recognised certification courses and trainings for professional qualification.

Cargotec Bulgaria’s employees have the opportunity to work from anywhere in Bulgaria, so they can feel as comfortable as possible, be more productive and maintain an optimum work-life balance. The company’s team has been growing with talents from all over the country, with no need for relocation to Sofia.
