Because I care.

Stress-resistant mood enhancer

A coffee in the morning, goodbye kisses from my wife and my daughter, motivating music and my crazy colleagues: That's all it takes for me to really enjoy my work. No matter how small and unassuming a task seems, as long as you are passionate about it, you can accomplish great things. Even more so in a company like EREMA that offers jobs with a future and gives you the feeling that you can do something for our planet and our society. This is important to me because I want a safe future for my daughter so that she can explore the environment in all its variety for a long time to come. This requires that we conserve our resources well. There are opportunities for doing this. And with my job as an order picker at EREMA, I contribute to increasing these opportunities.

In my job, I'm on my feet all day and of course it's stressful at times, but that's the challenge I love. When you see a load of tiny parts that you pick turn into a spare part that gets one of our machines running again, it's a great feeling. In the team I am known for my cheerful mood. Of course, you can't be in a good mood every day, but usually a smile or a "top of the morning to you" is enough to get things going - that's my contribution to the good mood in the team.

That, and sometimes I dance around the warehouse and start singing. That's when you'll notice that I'm also a musician in my spare time. Because music connects people. A smile can do that too. And so I don't just live out the profession I learned here - it is also my vocation!

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, electrifying person with a sense of humor

Each of us is a small cog wheel in a big machine. I mean that in a very positive way, because it means: we are all important in order to close the recycling loop. Recycling is the future. It drives the economy, creates jobs and helps the environment. Everyone benefits from that! I think it's great to work as an apprentice in this area. Our trainer in the field of electrical engineering always says: "Without us there would be no functioning systems and therefore no recycled granulate." That thought motivates me!

As an electrical engineer, it's my job to wire one of our smaller system types. I'm really proud of my work when, when the system is accepted and quality control reports: "No errors found. Everything perfect!” Or when experienced skilled workers tell me that they enjoy working with me. I feel like I can make a valuable contribution.

I was interested in the world of electrical engineering from an early age. That's why I was already electrified as a little boy - not only because I once reached into a light bulb socket... I also think it's great that I can also use the skills I learned as a hobby photographer in my apprenticeship: for both you need a lot of creativity.

I really enjoy working at the EREMA Group. The working atmosphere is collegial and fun. Communication is at eye level across all departments. I think it's nice to get involved in this atmosphere with my willingness to help and my optimistic, humorous nature. This is how colleagues quickly become friends.

Calming and respectful

"Be the person who you would like to meet" is one of my guiding principles. I abide by that principle - and so does my employer 3S. I have been working here on the management team since April 2021 and have set up the apprentice workshop, among other things.

I appreciate the high level of social competence of the company and the EREMA Group. For example, apprentices are considered part of the team from a very early stage. We offer not only a secure job, but also an appreciative environment where you work independently and yet together on challenges.

I personally feel that what we are doing has meaning - because our machines can create positive things. Even as a child I enjoyed the outdoors, it is still an important source of calm for me today.

We live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world - and we need to keep it that way. Natural resources are becoming increasingly scarce. If we want to maintain our quality of life, we need to live sustainably. That is something that the EREMA Group and we at 3S contribute to.

Responsible perfectionist who appreciates quality

Trust, flexibility and great future visions: that is the foundation on which EREMA is built. This is not only evident in the clear goals, but above all in the way the people here work together. Employees are the most important factors for success - it is obvious that is the way EREMA thinks.

No matter how small the nuts and bolts are: they are all important for a working machine. That's exactly how we work together as a team, and that relationship is exactly why I'm happy with my job. "How did you do that?" my managers sometimes ask me, puzzled. This gives me the good feeling that my work contributes something valuable. Even if some things already seem perfect, I always want to do it better. That helps everyone, and when we are then praised as a team, that is the best compliment for my work.

I like it when I am allowed to achieve new goals and handle new challenges - and, it is great to work in a future-oriented, innovative company that attaches great importance to fairness! Also to the environment: recycling is not just the future, but also the present. The world doesn't work without recycling. We are already witnessing pollution of the earth, water and air on a massive scale. We all have a responsibility when it comes to conserving the world for the next generation.
