Because I care.

Solution-oriented optimist and fair team player

As a child I was already interested in technology and it soon became clear that I wanted to follow a technical profession. That's why I completed an apprenticeship as an industrial electrician. At EREMA I gained more knowledge as an acceptance test electrician. Today, I pass this knowledge on to young people myself as an apprentice trainer. At the moment I am helping 16 apprentices work towards becoming professional technicians.

My employer gives me a lot of freedom and trust, which motivates me a lot. Especially in apprentice training it is important to try out new things every now and then, so the work remains exciting and challenging. My work means a great deal to me. After all, I am investing in the colleagues of tomorrow!

The greatest thing for me is when I see apprentices after 3.5 years of apprenticeship, how they have become fully integrated employees. Teaching and still being a good listener is just as important to me as looking at the big picture. I don't just see the trainees, but the people behind them. In this way, even difficult situations can be solved - because mutual respect ensures the basis for discussion. It is not just about numbers, but about people and that they get the support that they need. The time I spend at work is very important to me, which is why I invest it in a company that shares my values.

With people who support and motivate each other, a great deal can be achieved on both a small and a large scale. Because the company is constantly growing and developing, new perspectives and opportunities are also constantly being created for young, dedicated colleagues. I enjoy working in a large, dynamic team that treats each other with respect.

You can tell you are in the right job when it doesn't drain energy, but gives you energy. That's why there's no reason for me to think about an employer other than EREMA.

Technical tinkerer and conscientious optimiser

The ecological footprint we leave behind not only affects the environment, but also the way we live. I know that my actions also play a big role in the future - that's why I work for a green technology company whose products make it possible to save resources and reduce CO2. A challenging task! But that is exactly what I need to make my work worth doing. That, a great team and a good espresso!

I always wanted to become a technician, and electrical engineering in particular interested me from an early age. As a kid, I used to help my dad fix things around the house. Today I am a process control engineer.

My job is to continuously scrutinise processes and make sure they are perfectly coordinated. By optimising plants and ensuring higher efficiency, I create value for people and the environment. The mix of test runs, meetings and recording results make my job interesting and challenging. It gives me a good feeling to roll out projects that support everyone involved, customers and colleagues.

Where others face challenges, I see opportunity. So many things are possible when you put your mind to it! That's why I cycle to work every day, in all seasons, in all weathers. My passion is also my job!

Creative engineer and motivated problem solver

I analyse products every day that contribute to recycling. My work provides numerous benefits to the environment and other people, including my colleagues who need my laboratory analyses to develop the right set-up for machines. And of course our customers, because their machines work the way they want them to. That motivates me!

My field of work is varied: I get to contribute my knowledge in many areas of technology and solve challenges in a very hands-on way. I deal with the legal aspects of food safety. In doing so, I support our customers in obtaining approval for the machines from the authorities. I also develop innovations for the circular economy and can fully apply my creative potential in this way.

Having started as a part-time lab student parallel to my studies some years ago, and having worked full-time as a research engineer in the meantime, I now take responsibility for the lab, the analyses and the lab staff for the future.

In keeping with the EREMA Group philosophy, it is important to me that the work is carried out precisely, that cooperation within the team works well and that each and every person has sufficient freedom to develop their personal potential.

It is also fun and gives me so much positive energy at the start of the working day that it's easy for me to do my best and take projects to the next level.

Team spirit and composure for the professionals of tomorrow

In 2018, I started at EREMA in the electrical final inspection department as a plant electrician and have now been working in EREMA's apprentice workshop as an apprentice trainer in the field of electrical engineering since the beginning of 2023.

I experience EREMA as a thoughtful and innovative company that offers many opportunities for development. Here you have one of the world's best company kitchens, the chance to make a contribution to environmental protection, to develop interesting and innovative systems and to maintain international customer contacts. At EREMA, I find attractive development opportunities in both my professional and private life and an environment that brings it all together.

I am very concerned about how we treat each other and the environment. That's why it's so important to work in a way that conserves resources so that we don't destroy our planet. When I see my apprentices becoming more independent step by step and implementing what they have learned, it makes me proud. Because I guide these young people on their way to becoming skilled workers. Together with my team, I lead them to this goal and thus also a step towards a self-determined life. This is what makes apprenticeship training meaningful and sustainable. I think my strengths are my calmness and composure. When I was a child, I wanted to be a football player. Now I can live that team spirit here at EREMA. In the meantime, I play tennis and go hiking, and I like to go to the theatre for a change of pace.

Athletic Systems-Checker

The apprenticeship as an information and communication technician is exactly what suits me. Why? Because it's a varied job: I work on different servers and different systems and thus support the internal cooperation decisively. In addition, as an IT technician, it is my job to make systems work again. In this way, I help other people directly. Whenever I succeed, I know that my work is valuable and that I am helping to change something for the better.

This is where the future lies: using what already exists and making it functional again. This is a great opportunity for all of us! In this regard, the EREMA Group and I are exactly on the same wavelength. Incidentally, it is not true that all IT technicians only sit at the PC. I do a lot of sport in my free time - it's a great balance and makes me fit for my work.

Motivated teamplayer and problem solver

A motivated team, an environment with room for development and suitable challenges - that's what I need to work with enthusiasm. And that is exactly what EREMA offers. In this dynamic environment, your own ideas get room, so that they can be turned into solutions that help other people. Whenever this happens, I know that what we do is valuable because it has a lasting effect. I share my employer's view that problems should not be ignored, but tackled. You have to have the courage to break new ground from time to time. The global scarcity of resources should have shown us the importance of recycling for a long time. For me, this topic is close to my heart, which is why the waste collection center sees me every week.

I've been working at EREMA since 2005, while I completed my "Information Security Management" training at the Danube University Krems at the same time. Today I am group leader of the ICT infrastructure. In my job – as the person responsible for infrastructure and information security – I can show my greatest strength: I always keep a cool head, even in the most challenging situations. At the same time, I like being able to make a difference with a team in a positive atmosphere – especially as an apprentice coordinator and lecturer together with young people.
