WHY INTERPIPE
Interpipe is a socially responsible company that has always provided support for its employees. Despite the challenges of today, Interpipe's plants in Dnipro, Samar and Nikopol are operating steadily, remaining a reliable supplier of products and a responsible employer. During the full-scale war, the company significantly strengthened its support for people and strives to make its employees feel part of a large business that is able to develop in a front-line region. In total, 9,500 employees are working at the company's plants. Safe conditions were created at the production sites, with concrete shelters and safe houses.

Social responsibility
From the first day of work, the company guarantees official employment and wage payment without delay. In addition to financial motivation, Interpipe has other means of support. This includes a comprehensive social package, paid sick leave and holidays, health insurance, comfortable living conditions, corporate transport and more.
During the full-scale invasion, the company raised wages twice and made extra social commitments to its employees, including helping to restore housing after shelling, paying for summer holidays for its employees' children and providing systematic support to veterans and the military who defend the country.
The employer also introduced a strong monthly support package for employees from Nikopol, which includes food certificates.
and health insurance
The company's staff can get high-quality medical services at the corporate medical centre located in Dnipro. The centre provides medical advice from highly skilled doctors: general practitioners, surgeons, dentists, urologists, endoscopists, neurologists, infectologists, cardiologists and other specialists. The Interpipe Clinic is equipped with modern medical equipment that allows for general and in–depth diagnostics of the body and individual organs. The clinic has ultrasound, X-ray, laboratory and functional diagnostics rooms.
The company also provides voluntary health insurance and compensates for part of the insurance package.
Interpipe systematically invests not only in production equipment, but also in improving living conditions for plant staff. In 2024 alone, the company allocated more than UAH 106 million for the reconstruction of amenities, agricultural facilities, offices, meeting rooms, dining rooms, toilets and showers. All premises were renovated to modern standards and designed in a corporate style. The modernisation covers all the company's plants and is under way simultaneously in Dnipro, Nikopol and Samar (formerly Novomoskovsk). New repair projects are planned.
protective equipment
All Interpipe employees are provided with several sets of modern workwear and personal protective equipment: goggles, helmets, gloves, earplugs, respirators and disposable coveralls. Employees are provided with special footwear that fixes their feet and protects them from possible injury. The workwear kits are systematically updated, dry-cleaned, and repaired free of charge if necessary.
For Interpipe employees, the company organised comfortable city and intercity bus services based on production schedules. In total, there are more than 50 corporate transport routes. Buses bring employees to the company's checkpoints and take them back after their shifts. Transportation is provided at the company's expense and is therefore free for staff.
Interpipe has modern canteens at its facilities. They operate according to production schedules. The canteens can accommodate many employees at once. The quality of food and the balance of the menu are always under control. The employee chooses the dishes and the company reimburses up to 70% of the cost of a set meal. This amount is systematically reviewed.
In the summers of 2023 and 2024, the staff's children went to a summer camp in the Carpathians. The company reimburses 80% of the ticket cost and 100% for children of military personnel and veterans. In 2024, Interpipe organised a free career guidance camp called Job City for the children of its staff.
Every year, Interpipe helps prepare first-graders whose parents work for the company for school by donating backpacks and supplies. For the New Year holidays,the staff's children get a set of sweets. Since 2023, the company has been selecting individual dream gifts for the children of the killed, missing and captured employees.
Interpipe has been helping its mobilised employees since 2014. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the company created the Headquarters for Assistance to Mobilised and Demobilised Employees, a full-fledged structural unit responsible for ongoing support for soldiers at the front line. The headquarters supplies gear, equipment and medicines to the defenders of Ukraine, provides legal and psychological support and helps resolve organisational issues. On the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, mobilised employees get extra gifts. In case of injury or illness, soldiers get comprehensive medical support from the Company.
The Company implemented a veteran reintegration policy that includes comprehensive medical care, counselling and organisational support. Mobilised employees who resigned from the Armed Forces of Ukraine for health reasons and cannot return to their pre-war jobs are offered another job they can perform given their current physiological condition, skills and army experience.
One of the elements of the reintegration policy is systematic family activities for veterans with elements of various types of social and psychological rehabilitation. The development of the programme of such measures takes into account international experience of veteran adaptation to civilian life.
The company takes care of families with minor children whose breadwinners were mobilised and killed. Every year, the children have the opportunity to spend several weeks in a summer camp in the Carpathians, get birthday presents and a personalised gift on St Nicholas Day. It is chosen by the child or their mum. Children get gadgets, bicycles, toys and more. Since 2024, a psychological rehabilitation programme for families has been in place where families attend a 5-day specialised event in the Carpathians where qualified psychologists work with them.
Interpipe's No. 1 priority is the physical safety of people, as the company's plants are located in a front-line region. Particular attention is paid to the enterprise in Nikopol, which has been a war zone since July 2022 due to systematic shelling and drone attacks from the occupied Enerhodar. The Company's workshops are equipped with permanent shelters that people can use during air raids and other threats. In addition, 16 mobile concrete shelters were installed in Nikopol directly in the workshops.
JOB TRAINING
Job from scratch
Training in related professions
Higher education at the company's expense
Advanced training
The company offers jobs to employees without necessary experience and knowledge, provided they get on-the-job training in their chosen field. All programmes are licensed and last from 2 to 6 months, covering both theoretical and practical parts. During the latter, students complete production tasks under the guidance of a qualified mentor. Official employment starts from the first day of training; students get a salary and enjoy a full social package and support programmes.
The company creates favourable conditions for the professional development of its employees. In particular, employees can learn a related profession — an extra speciality they can also practice in the company. First, training in related professions allows us to expand the level of our employees' skills and rotate production staff. 3 out of 5 workers have 3–5 specialities: slinger, repairman and others.
Interpipe employees have the opportunity to get higher education at the company's expense. The company supports and encourages those who want to develop and grow their careers. Bachelor's and Master's degrees in modern technical specialities are offered at the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technology as part of a special programme between the university and Interpipe. Employees can get degrees in the following areas: Metallurgy, Applied Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Electromechanics, Metrology, Environmental Protection Technology and others. This initiative is becoming increasingly popular every year, as the cost of education in Ukrainian universities is only growing.
Interpipe provides its staff with opportunities to improve their expertise, improve their knowledge and skills in the steel industry, which in turn has a positive impact on their careers. Employees master new equipment, learn about materials, modern technological processes, mechanisation and automation tools used in production, as well as the rules and requirements for their safe operation.
INDUSTRIAL PRACTICE AND INTERNSHIPS
For students of vocational schools and universities
Theoretical knowledge gained at educational institutions does not allow young people to work in production at a genuine expert level after graduation. They usually need extra training and retraining directly on the job. This is due to curricula lagging behind the pace of production modernisation and often outdated material and technical facilities of vocational and higher education institutions.
Interpipe invites students of vocational and higher education institutions to go to industrial or undergraduate on-site temp work or internship at the company and is ready to offer them jobs in the event of successful graduation and acquisition of relevant expertise and skills.
Student programmes include:
- general introduction to the plant and the company,
- theoretical study of existing technologies and equipment,
- teaching practical skills and abilities at one of the plants,
- providing information for a term paper or a graduation paper in their field of study.
