Working Student Green Coffee (Quality Operations) (f/m/d)

We are Neumann Kaffee Gruppe. And we love coffee.

For us at Neumann Kaffee Gruppe (NKG), everything revolves around coffee. As a globally active green coffee service group, our more than 3,300 employees in 28 countries work with dedication for and with green coffee, which is always the focus of our services along the entire coffee supply chain. Our fields of work are just as diverse as our employees and we are proud to live this diversity.

As individual and special as coffee is, it is also a globally traded commodity. Unlike other large trading houses, we at Bernhard Rothfos only trade coffee - from low grade to high end and as green or instant coffee. This means that hardly anyone knows coffee as well as we do. We combine decades of experience and advanced know-how about the product as well as the international coffee market. Today, we see ourselves as a trading house that offers services far beyond commercial processing - just as our customers want.

We are certified as a Great Place to Work®, highlighting our strong culture of trust, collaboration, and respect. Discover here what our employees like best about our workplace.
