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.

Explaining bear & fan of change

As an "explaining bear", I like to tell the people around me about plastics, recycling and sustainability. This often leads to interesting, in-depth discussions. Passing on knowledge and information is also part of my work as a Process Technician at EREMA and as a training representative for commissioning technicians. It is always important to me to show others alternative ways, but not to try to change their minds. It's important to me to let everyone express their opinion. It's about being with each other, not against each other. That's the only way we can be the driving force for the circular economy and a clean world.

I find it hard to imagine working for any other company. I appreciate that it is people that are in the foreground, rather than their work or education. Here, everyone is treated with the same level of respect. And because of that, many of my colleagues have already become friends. I can also identify very well with the vision and mission. And my values are very much in line with the company's.

Standing still means step backwards - especially in terms of an important topic such as the future of our planet. It's all the more rewarding when in my job I can teach others, help them progress, so that over the long term we make a contribution to the success of the company and to global recycling.

I am fully behind my work when the projects are thought through to the end and when I see that the trainees - my new colleagues - become more independent. Especially if I then receive positive feedback from them for my work. This can cause goose bumps moments now and again.

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.

Perfectly organized communication talent

Perfectly organized communication talent

At what moments in my job do I feel like I'm doing something worthwhile? Every day! Because logistics is very important for the whole world - and I make my contribution as a company logistics clerk. I learned what it takes to do this during my apprenticeship. What was great about this time was not only the free food in the canteen and the great gym, but also that you learn so much as an apprentice and are never alone. There is always someone there to support you. If you find it difficult to learn, you can take advantage of tutoring. And there is a super great LAP preparation course! After completing my apprenticeship in spring 2022, I was taken on as an employee. I'm very happy about that, because it means I can continue to find solutions with my colleagues for controlling the flow of goods and information, as well as for the transport of goods and their storage. These are important economic functions that create high values. Sounds varied? It is!

In concrete terms, this means: I store parts, check goods, work in the office, where I book goods and much more. This requires organizational talent, flexibility and communication skills as well as logical and analytical thinking and patience. I actually always wanted to work in the social sector because I can deal with people very well. With this strength, I also feel quite comfortable in my current job, where I have a lot of contact with others.

Environmentally conscious positive thinker

There are many things that matter to me, above all how people, animals and our living space are treated. I am convinced that we have to learn how to use resources sparingly if we want to protect nature and its creatures. Instead of exploitation, we have to find our way back to a healthy balance. I am convinced that positive change starts with a positive attitude of one's own. If you think positively, you act positively. If everyone pulls on the same end of the rope and has the same goal in mind, nothing can go wrong. That's how we handle it at EREMA, and that's why I like working here so much: Together we make a big contribution to a healthy environment!

Sticking together, appreciation and mutual support are just as important as honesty and security. Our industry is important for the future. That is why an apprenticeship or a job at EREMA offers long-term security. For my part, I work as an office clerk in the company. Working with numbers and accuracy are important. As an apprentice coordinator for finance and accounting assistance, I also teach you how you can make a valuable contribution, too.
