NOW HIRING: Escape the city grind—join Knorr-Bremse in Liberec and make an impact

Looking for a new role with global impact and local support? Knorr-Bremse Services Europe in Liberec could be your next move. As the Shared Services Center for the Knorr-Bremse Group—a world leader in safe and sustainable mobility solutions—this growing team supports rail and commercial vehicle operations across Europe.

Recently awarded second place in the Employer of the Region 2024 competition, the company is known for its friendly atmosphere, flexible working options, and genuine focus on work-life balance. Employees here don’t just process tasks—they contribute to major projects, collaborate across cultures, and grow their skills in a supportive environment.

The office is located in the heart of Liberec in a modern, fully renovated building with a sleek, contemporary design. Just steps from the historic town hall, it’s surrounded by cozy cafés, restaurants, and shops. Inside, the space features a clean, dark blue and white color scheme, an open-plan layout, and several conference rooms.

Employees benefit from car and bike parking, on-site showers, and a fully equipped kitchen area for breaks. The rooftop terrace offers a sunny spot to enjoy lunch, unwind, or take in panoramic views of Ještěd and the surrounding mountains.

Compared to Prague, Liberec offers a more peaceful lifestyle, lower cost of living, and shorter commute times. And yet, it takes just one hour to get from Prague’s Černý Most metro station to the office.

Knorr-Bremse offers flexible working hours, with core hours set from 9:30 to 14:30. The office has fun, out-of-work activities, such as volleyball, cycling, paddleboarding, bowling, theatre nights, “Health Days,” parties, and more. Their unique “Coffee Talk with MD” initiative gives employees the chance to sit down informally with the Managing Director to ask questions or share feedback.

The company strongly emphasizes internal growth. Last year, one-third of all open positions were filled through internal transfers. They also support continuous learning through LinkedIn Learning, in-house training for both soft and hard skills, and workshops organized by employees eager to share their expertise.

Knorr-Bremse offers competitive benefits to position itself as an employer of choice, prioritizing employee well-being. Full-time employees receive a yearly bonus, 25 days of vacation plus three additional days after five years at the company, meal vouchers, a cafeteria benefit system, a multisport card, contributions to pension insurance, and bonuses for life anniversaries, newborns, and retirement. Employees also enjoy discounts at select restaurants and more.

When Razvan Cazan moved from Romania to accept the position of Managing Director of Knorr-Bremse Services Europe, he didn’t expect it to enrich his professional and personal life the way it has. “From the moment we arrived, Liberec felt like more than just a new place to live—it felt like home. Colleagues and neighbors have welcomed us with warmth and genuine curiosity as there’s a strong sense of community here. Also, as a runner, the nearby forest trails have become my daily escape—peaceful, scenic, and unlike anything in bigger cities. For me, Liberec is not just a great place to work—it’s a great place to live and was well worth relocating to.”

“Using the Multisport card has been a game-changer for me. It’s incredibly easy to access every gym in Liberec, making it convenient to stay active. Thanks to our flexible working hours, I can enjoy a morning run before work or even run to the office, knowing there’s a shower available. This flexibility and convenience have significantly boosted my productivity and well-being,” says Matěj Kulka (Process & Automation Specialist - Direct Purchasing).

Knorr-Bremse’s global DEI framework focuses on Age & Generation, Internationality, and Gender & Identity. The goal is to achieve 25 percent female representation worldwide, with 20 percent in management. Their Women@KB Network supports female employees through networking, career development, and workshops on inclusive collaboration and unconscious bias.

Knorr-Bremse is growing rapidly and actively hiring for its expanding GBS Office. The company is recruiting across key departments, including IT, Accounting, Controlling & Reporting, Purchasing, HR, and other global roles. With a focus on automation and process improvement, Knorr-Bremse seeks adaptable, forward-thinking professionals. If you're ready to join a dynamic, future-oriented team, now is the ideal time to apply.
