Career by zahnen

An employee-oriented management culture is established in our company. Through a good management culture, we create a high level of employee loyalty to the company. We attach particular importance to openness and constructive interaction between employees and managers. In addition, we have a goal-oriented information and communication policy in which the open word is cultivated.

In the fast-moving, digital world in which we live, corporate values act like beacons – they provide orientation and can be understood as a guide to action, a basis for decision-making and a standard of conduct.

The following corporate values lay the foundation for our employee-oriented leadership culture:

  • Intangible values (business and customer relationships, corporate culture, know-how, etc.) come before tangible values (material goods).

  • We pay attention to the health, education and quality of life of our employees.

  • We deal with information productively.

  • We implement new innovations quickly and agilely.

  • We adhere to rules and systems and thus avoid uncertainties.

  • We have a high level of resilience (psychological resistance) which gives us the following qualities: being optimistic, accepting situations, finding solutions, leaving the role of victim, taking responsibility, developing contacts, planning for the future.

  • We gain time through clever and skilful cooperation.

Our location

We have consciously and convincingly maintained our location in the West Eifel over all these years. The municipality of Arzfeld in the border region to Belgium and Luxembourg is a lively place in the heart of Europe that offers quality of life for young professionals and their families. In addition, the people have a strong attachment to the region and its businesses.

The Eifel – a place where others go on holiday! A fascinating landscape right on your doorstep combined with a wide range of leisure and cultural activities for young and old. In addition to lots of nature and plenty of fresh healthy air, working in the Eifel also means a free ride to work – and thus a gain in quality of life. Likewise, the rural area is characterised by a high level of social cohesion and social security.

Who we are looking for

Our market is growing – we want our team to grow too. That is why we are looking for committed and creative employees and trainees who want to work on their own initiative and take advantage of opportunities for advancement, have a desire for innovation and want to get to know other people and regions.

What we offer

We support our employees in securing their retirement. For this purpose, we offer the possibility of subsidised deferred compensation.

A joint company party strengthens the team spirit and promotes communication within the staff.
We therefore traditionally hold our Christmas party on the last working day before the Christmas company holidays. Every two years, the employees organise a Zahnen Technik company outing.

In addition to Christmas and holiday bonuses, there is a personal gift for each employee on birthdays and at Christmas.

The work-life balance and health of our employees is very important to us.
That’s why we offer a back fitness course once a week in the company during the winter months, when sport is sometimes neglected.

With the lifetime working time accounts, we have found a way to reconcile the employees‘ wishes for a life-phase-oriented, flexible working time arrangement with operational concerns. Depending on their current life situation, employees can save up working hours (regular remuneration components, remaining leave, etc.) and also save up again (sabbaticals, further training, etc.).

Flat hierarchies are established in our company. This means that not every employee can have a management career, and at the same time not every employee wants to take on a management role. By introducing specialist career paths, we offer employees a perspective and alternative to a management career, because with increasing specialist qualifications, one can develop into an expert.
The specialist career paths enable employees to develop their skills in line with requirements, promote their satisfaction and strengthen their long-term loyalty to the company.

Depending on their career level, employees have an annual training budget that they can decide freely. The prerequisite is that the further training fits the employee’s job.
In addition, about six times a year, employees do not work on the construction sites on the last Friday of the month. Instead, training sessions and staff meetings take place. In addition, construction site employees can do in-house errands.

Our employees receive new internet-capable devices, whether smartphones, PCs or similar, at absolutely top conditions and out of their gross salary. This way, you save taxes and enjoy technical comfort all in one.

The international orientation of our company will increase significantly in the future. To better prepare ourselves for this, the company offers an English communication lesson once a week in small groups for all interested employees.

The company health insurance is a private supplementary health insurance. It covers the extras that the statutory health insurance does not pay for. Various benefits for teeth, visual aids, preventive examinations, etc. can be claimed.

As a company concerned with resource conservation, we want to support and promote the shift to e-mobility.
For example, our employees can use our own e-charging stations at both of our locations to „fill up on sunshine“. Our e-charging stations are „fuelled“ with „green“ solar power via photovoltaic systems on our roofs.

The Zahnen Technik InnovationLab not only serves as a place for creative freedom, but also as an internal training and further education centre. It offers space in the quick and professional induction of new employees as well as the training of existing employees. At the same time, we also make our premises available to schools, universities or companies associated in partnership.
