What brought you to HIK?
I had previously worked in the same industry, but in a smaller company with less extensive tasks. The challenge of working and proving myself in another company in cable assembly of this scope and size aroused great interest in me, so the decision to apply was the smallest step. I have not regretted this decision. My wife also works here and is very happy with the job.
Which department do you work in? How have you developed within the company?
I am currently working in production management (specializing in joining technology). I started out as a production group leader (FGL) in the Komax fully automatic machines division; my previous knowledge quickly led to additional tasks and questions from other production groups, where I was able to provide support. Due to the growing tasks and my willingness to take on responsibility, I was happy to take the next step into production area management after five years. My career is constantly being promoted at HIK, because the strong expansion of the company enables me to constantly develop further.
What do you particularly like about HIK? Which tasks do you enjoy the most?
Things are always changing here, there are always new projects. The dynamic nature of the company makes the tasks attractive. It never gets boring! At the same time, I enjoy solving problems and am happy when I can help my colleagues. At the same time, I can always learn something from my colleagues.
How do you experience working in a team?
The company offers a wide range of tasks. Every colleague has their own area of responsibility; however, no one is above taking on tasks from other colleagues or supporting them in their work. There is a great sense of team spirit among the employees and new employees are quickly integrated. In general, there is a friendly atmosphere and I enjoy working here.
What tips do you have for people interested in applying to us?
It's a simple formula: Whether you're a career changer or a specialist, just apply. Opportunities are often only found when they arise. We have many opportunities at HIK and most ideas are implemented.
