Florian Kunz, Foreman

Yacht journey

Meet Florian, a foreman for yacht coating at Muehlhan. Florian has been with us for over a decade, starting as a painter and varnisher. He has worked on various projects, from offshore platforms to bridges, but his favorites were in the yacht sector. Florian shares his journey at Muehlhan, his favorite projects, and why he loves working for a company that values quality, innovation, and fun.

Career climb

I joined Muehlhan in 2013, when the regional manager saw my potential and offered me a job. I was thrilled to work for Muehlhan, a leading company in corrosion protection, after gaining some experience as a subcontractor.

Muehlhan has been a great place to learn and grow, by giving me access to various training courses, such as the KOR- certificate, the Frosio, and others.

Quality across

I also love the diversity of working at Muehlhan, where I can use my skills in different sectors, such as offshore, industry, yacht building, bridges, aircraft, and series production in our blasting halls.

As a foreman, I enjoy the challenge and responsibility of managing different projects, equipment, and people every day. I get to meet and work with amazing people and I have to adapt to their different personalities and expectations. I appreciate the teamwork and camaraderie that Muehlhan fosters, and I always aim to deliver high-quality results.

Teamwork

One project to mention was a 140-meter yacht, which felt like coming home for me, since I started my career in corrosion protection in the yacht sector. On this project, I joined my current team, who welcomed me warmly.

I appreciate my line manager, who is very honest and supportive. He gives me constructive feedback and praises me for my good work. He also stands by me and my decisions, and he is always there to solve any problems. Thanks to this collegial communication, I feel valued and respected at Muehlhan.

Helicopter commute

Another project that I will never forget is the “BARD 1” transformer platform, which was an amazing experience. The most exciting part was getting there by helicopter, which was a rare and thrilling opportunity. How many people can say that they fly to work by helicopter?

Working at Muehlhan is not only rewarding, but also fun and adventurous.
