"My job gives me a lot of variety because I get to work in different departments during the apprenticeship."

Keen junior accountant

Don't skimp and don't be sloppy - that's important in my job. I am currently doing the office apprenticeship and am already contributing to the success of the company by applying skill and a calm head - even in times of stress. There are so, so many things I like about my apprenticeship: the further training and language courses, the opportunities for promotion, the gym and the delicious food in the company restaurant and, of course, the great apprentice days!

My job gives me a lot of variety because I get to work in different departments during the apprenticeship. Ideas for improvements and further developments are welcome everywhere and at any time. I am currently working in the accounting department and I know for sure that I have found my future profession! Everything feels just right, especially the office atmosphere and working together with colleagues.

And of course, I also think it's great that I work in a field that creates new things from recycled "plastic waste", in addition to PET bottles, such great things as skateboards, chairs, pens and much more. That makes a lot of sense!

"My apprenticeship at EREMA was so brilliant that I stayed on after that."

"We take care of any problem, no matter how small."

Creative problem solver & team player

Working every day with 100% focus: That is how I make sure that no mistake happens during programming. When I get positive feedback from our customers after the work is finished, it motivates me even more. I just enjoy solving problems at plants. Because these are always new and different makes it possible for me to constantly develop my knowledge.

That's what I've been doing right from the start: After successfully completing my apprenticeship as an electrical engineer at EREMA, I also passed the final apprenticeship examination in mechatronics just two months later. And at the same time as that, I did some further education in the field of software engineering. Next, a masters in electrical engineering is on my agenda.

Because I enjoy solving problems with creativity, I always bring in new ideas. It is important to me to be there for everyone as a team player - for my colleagues and for our customers. I think it's great that we have a good working atmosphere at EREMA and that we take care of every little problem.

In my leisure time, I do sports, especially playing football, which is my great passion. Because it is strenuous working on plants during electrical acceptance procedures, especially in the summer in the uncooled halls, my physical fitness comes in very handy. This allows me to carry out the work properly and meet expectations in full.

"You can tell you are in the right job when it doesn't drain energy, but gives you energy."

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.
