You’ll find all the current vacancies on our career portal – and you can easily upload and submit your application documents. Please make sure that you attach all the necessary documents in the right format so that we can process your application quickly and easily. We look forward to reviewing your documents and getting to know you.

Yes, we always keep our vacancies up to date. As soon as a job has been successfully filled, we immediately remove it from our career page so that you only see the jobs that are actually available. In addition, we ensure that all the information on our website is regularly reviewed and updated to make selecting the right job for you as easy as possible.

If you have any questions about a particular job or aren’t sure whether a role is still vacant, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

The application process for apprenticeships and work-study places begins in the May of the year before the planned start of the training. Applying early increases your chances of getting the place you want, as the positions may be filled early, depending on availability. The apprenticeship and work-study places currently available can be found on our website.

Yes, unsolicited applications are always welcome. If you’re interested in a job that isn’t currently being advertised but think that you are a good fit for us, we look forward to receiving your application.

Your application should explain as precisely as possible which specialization or job you’re interested in so that we can review your documents with this in mind. Even if a suitable job isn’t currently being advertised, we’ll be happy to include your application in our pool of applicants with your consent. As soon as a suitable opportunity arises, we’ll contact you about it.

Yes, we offer internships for students in all occupations that require training and courses of study that are available at PWO. Your one-week internship will help you get an insight into the world of work and gain initial experience. You can complete the internship either during your school’s internship week or also voluntarily during your school vacations.

You can submit the application for a student internship directly through our career portal. Please specify the dates and the professional field in which you’d like to complete the internship. We’ll check the places available and contact you as soon as possible.

As soon as we’ve received your application, you’ll receive a confirmation of receipt (note: we return applications received by mail and then process them in digital form). We’ll keep you up to date on your application’s progress and are always available to answer any questions you may have. We ask for your understanding, if, in individual cases, this takes a few extra days due to the large number of applications received.

In addition to the school and academic qualifications needed, we pay particular attention to soft skills relevant to the position in question: These include, for example, teamwork skills, an exceptional talent for communication and a solution-oriented approach. Depending on the professional field, specific technical knowledge or practical prior experience may also be an advantage. However, what is most important to us is that you have a genuine passion for what you do and that you can identify with your team and the corporate culture.

Grades certainly play a role – particularly, of course, in the subjects that are particularly relevant for the apprenticeship or work-study program. But, above all, we set great store by getting to know you as a person. This is because, ultimately, your talent, skills and motivation all count. What we're looking for is committed, versatile individuals who fit in well with our team and want to grow together with us.

Yes, of course you can apply for several positions if you’ve found more than one interesting role that fits well to your profile. In this case, it’s very helpful for us if you let us know which positions you prefer or which ones best suit your career goals. This allows us to assess your application with this in mind and consider you for the right position.

If, during the application process, you realize that the position you applied for no longer suits your goals or plans, we’d be very grateful if you’d let us know as soon as possible. This will allow us to remove your application from the selection process and ensure that all further steps are as efficient as possible.

We understand that plans can change. We will of course respect your decision and wish you every success in your future endeavors.

Good preparation for the interview can make all the difference. To prepare for the interview as well as possible, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with both the job advertised and our company. Here are a couple of tips that might help:

• Find out about PWO: Read our corporate website and about our values and current projects to find out more about us. Show us that you can identify with our company.
• Prepare relevant questions: Consider which aspects of the job or company are particularly important for you and ask us questions about these. This will help you and us to find out whether we’re the right choice for you.
• Think of appropriate examples: Think of concrete examples from your previous (professional) life that show your skills and experience – particularly with regard to teamwork, problem-solving skills and communication.
• Be authentic: It’s not about the “right” answers but about showing us who you are and how well you could fit into our team. We want to get to know you and make sure that you’ll be able to fit in well here. So just be yourself. That’s the best way to impress us.

We want to make sure that you feel comfortable at PWO from the outset and make a successful start in your new role. After recruitment, there will be a structured onboarding program that includes the following steps:

• Welcome talk: Immediately after your first day of work, you’ll be given an introductory talk in which you are given an understanding of the company, our values and our processes.
• Induction: In your first few weeks, you’ll receive intensive support to familiarize yourself with your duties and responsibilities. You’ll have a go-to person on your team who will help you with any questions.
• Training: Depending on the job and requirements, we’ll offer you the opportunity to take part in various training courses to develop your professional skills.
• Feedback meetings: During the first few months, there are regular feedback meetings to discuss your progress and ensure that you’re integrating well into the team.

Onboarding at PWO is focused on providing you with optimal support from the start and making it easier to get started.

Yes, we offer a variety of opportunities for further training and development during your initial training and after you’ve successfully completed it. Our aim is to support you in the long term and open up career prospects for you within our company. This includes both internal training and participation in external further training opportunities.
