In 1974, he started working at Kopalnia Węgla Brunatnego Turów in Bogatynia, initially as a labourer. He was gradually promoted and became interim manager of the mine in 1999. From 2000 to 2010, he was president of the board of directors, later becoming branch manager until 2013. From 2004 to 2018, he headed the Employers' Association of the Lignite Producers Agreement.[1] He also became vice-president of the management board of PGE Mining and Conventional Power Generation.[2]

He has been involved in local government since the 1990s. Between 1994 and 1998, he was a municipal councillor in Zawidów and a delegate to the Jeleniogórskie Voivodeship Local Government Assembly.[1] In 1998, he was elected as a councillor of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship Sejmik of the first term on behalf of the Solidarity Electoral Action,[3] in which he sat until 2002.[1] From 2002 to 2018, he was a councillor in the Zgorzelec County and served as Chairman of the Poviat Council.[1] He was elected a councillor successively on behalf of KWW Porozumienie Prawicy (2002),[4] Law and Justice (2006)[5] and Civic Platform (2010, 2014).[6][7] In 2015, he re-affiliated with the Law and Justice party.[8] In 2018, he did not stand as a candidate in the local elections.
