JONJO FOLEY ESTIMATES<br />
THE FLEXIBILY<br />
I started my job at Hubitec AG<br />
on 1st November 2016 which<br />
was acquired by RUTHMANN in<br />
2017.<br />
Principally, I work in the internal<br />
sales department. My core task<br />
consists in the commercial and<br />
technical processing and coordination<br />
of projects - from the preparation<br />
of the offer to the order<br />
and the delivery of the complete<br />
machine to the end customer.<br />
In Switzerland, we are a small team<br />
of ten colleagues in the office and<br />
in the workshop. Flexibility is very<br />
important to us. We not only work<br />
together on an equal footing, we<br />
also complement each other. That<br />
is what I like about my job. In addition<br />
to my actual field of activity<br />
in the internal sales department,<br />
new challenges arise that need to<br />
be solved.<br />
RUTHMANN offers me freedom<br />
and flexibility in terms of working<br />
times, so it is a fair give and take.<br />
Our team is very collegial and “almost<br />
familiar”.<br />
This is also supported by events<br />
such as service partner meetings or<br />
the legendary RUTHMANN “Oktoberfest”.<br />
It is almost like “coming<br />
home” when, after a longer period<br />
of time, you meet colleagues again<br />
at an event with whom you otherwise<br />
only phone with. By the way,<br />
there is always enough time for<br />
funny anecdotes and private conversations.<br />
Of course, there is also<br />
a lot of shop talk; for example, I am<br />
impressed e.g. by the technological<br />
progress in the TB range in the 5<br />
years of my period of employment.<br />
When I think of the TB 290 and TB<br />
300: it is really impressive what the<br />
colleagues in Gescher have developed<br />
here on the 3.5 t basis.<br />
SOFIE TELÖKEN TAKES OFF<br />
AFTER THE APPRENTICESHIP<br />
In 2017 I started my apprenticeship<br />
at RUTHMANN in Gescher<br />
as mechatronics technician<br />
and now work in the electrical<br />
assembly.<br />
Sofie Telöken was happy to pose in front<br />
of the camera for our trainee photo shoot.<br />
Many thanks for that!<br />
During my apprenticeship, I got<br />
to know many company departments<br />
and spent much time in our<br />
modern training workshop with my<br />
colleagues.<br />
What I like about RUTHMANN is<br />
the friendly, collegial ambiance and<br />
that you are taken seriously as a<br />
woman in a technical profession.<br />
As it came to my exam, we got all<br />
kinds of help from our trainers and<br />
colleagues in order to be able to<br />
prepare us theoretically but also<br />
practically on our exam. After having<br />
passed my exam, RUTHMANN<br />
wanted to take me over.<br />
I did not think twice and a workplace<br />
was offered in my favourite<br />
department, the electrical assembly.<br />
Even in terms of working times, my<br />
wishes were taken into consideration<br />
and I could flexibly adjust my<br />
numbers of hours, as I still have<br />
plans.<br />
It gave me the necessary free time<br />
I actually need for my electric<br />
engineering correspondence course<br />
which takes about three and a half<br />
years.<br />
I hope to develop myself at<br />
RUTHMANN when I will be<br />
graduated. I would be pleased as I<br />
have come to appreciate the kind<br />
colleagues and the friendly atmosphere.<br />
Also the goodies such as<br />
free drinks and fresh fruit at workplace<br />
are not found in the company<br />
where my acquaintance work.<br />
