Headquartered in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, Japan, our company is engaged in the wholesale of cement and the manufacture and sale of ready-mix concrete and concrete products. We are the Shikoku region's best, stable supplier of concrete necessary for social infrastructure, such as for buildings, roads, dams, and bridges, which are indispensable infrastructures for daily life.
We are currently seeking individuals with expertise in the field of science. We seek university engineering graduates who have studied civil engineering or architecture, but we are also open to candidates who have studied other fields of science. Ideally, applicants will at least be able to communicate in Japanese at a daily level.
After joining the company, new hires will learn about cement/concrete at our head office and industrial facilities and will then develop products and check quality at a testing laboratory, which is responsible for product quality control. We expect new hires to experience the quality control field both at the head office and at the factory, and to then step up their skills. New hires can also live in company housing at our head office (in Matsuyama City), which is in a convenient location. We also welcome applications from those who wish to learn about concrete technology, which is a foundation of various kinds of infrastructures, and who wish to start a concrete-related business in their home country.

Business Content

Founded in Ehime Prefecture, Japan, in 1875, the company has been engaged in the following businesses: (1) cement wholesaling, (2) ready-mix concrete production and sales, and (3) manufacturing and sales of concrete products.
Concrete products and their locations of use often go unnoticed by the general public, but such products are an important part of the foundations of various kinds of buildings and social infrastructures, and we take pride in the fact that these infrastructures support people's lives. We also continue to research ways to improve quality on a daily basis, including by obtaining patents for the production and development of decarbonized concrete products.
Centered in Ehime Prefecture, Japan, the Kikuno Group has 12 affiliate companies in the transportation and automobile maintenance industries, with offices throughout the Shikoku region and in Osaka. Currently, the company is highly regarded for its community-based approach, focusing on business within the Shikoku region. If new hires want to return to their home country in the future and carry out concrete-related work there, we can provide room to consider expanding business outside Japan.
