Engineering
Within the engineering-geared Management Training Scheme you will become familiar, for instance, with the following areas of competence and will assume responsibility for work on practical assignments and projects in:
Product Development
We work with Pro/ENGINEER (3D) and CADIM / EBD (PDM), for example. With us product development takes the form of an integrated innovation process involving everyone concerned, from Assembly to Customer Service. We make you part of various development teams, so that you can work actively on practical projects. Modern project organisation also offers new recruits the opportunity of being responsible early on for pushing small projects forward.
Strategic Purchasing
Purchasing in a technology company naturally has a very strong engineering bias. So as well as commercially-oriented jobs such as contract negotiation and conclusion, priority is given to supplier selection and appraisal based on the relevant audits. An additional key factor is collaboration in our development teams, so that stress can be laid on purchasing input even at an early stage of product development. Here you will be responsible for a defined material group in the full spectrum of duties specified.
Product Management
The key to success in worldwide communication with our end customers is product positioning in the market and development of the "product message". In the context of the integrated innovation process positioning and message are already worked out in the development phase of a new product. In the project teams the product manager is seen as the customer's "advocate". In parallel he develops the full range of product documentation, from brochure family through to user manual. International product training courses are held regularly at subsidiaries and sales partners. The content of training courses extends from the mastery of simple product functions to role play, in which the emphasis is placed on target group benefit reasoning. The success of a product training course is recorded by an audit. This is how we ensure an interlinked product message in our worldwide communications. The practical experience accumulated from customer visits and meetings actively involves product management in maintaining and developing the existing product. Regular market and competitor observation rounds off this exciting field of activities.
After-Sales Service/Customer Support
As well as carrying out routine technical support, we are directing our attention towards optimising our worldwide service organisation. This includes, for example, looking after and training our service partners in all technical questions to do with the product, conducting partner audits and carrying out the technical training of service engineers. Within this job spectrum you will work independently for a national or international service region.
