Career at WESSLING

Full-time means a 40-hour week with trust-based working hours. In addition, working hours can be flexibly arranged in advance.

Overtime can also be incurred. Our employees take advantage of these hours either on a daily or hourly basis or have the hours paid out. For example, holidays can be extended by compensatory time.

Everyone needs time off. That's why we give all our employees 30 days holidays. In addition, there is half a day's extra holiday for Rose Monday, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve – that means 31.5 days' holiday per year. We also grant special leave for removals, weddings, births, etc.

We give our employees a free 15-minute breakfast break every day – that's 65 hours per year.

In work time where particularly high concentration is required, sometimes the home environment is the ideal place. Or do you have an important private appointment in the middle of the day? Mobile working at WESSLING is – of course, depending on the task – no problem.

We offer the opportunity to work part time. Whether it's childcare, a care case in the family or simply more time for hobbies or voluntary work, together we will find a working model that suits you.

Being a family-owned company, WESSLING is now managed by the second generation and is characterised as down-to-earth and of innovative spirit, creativity and precision – and you can feel it.

Sustainability and environmental awareness play a major role in our everyday work. In areas such as real estate, environment, food, consumer products, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, our work makes the world a little bit better every day.

There are a thousand good reasons to celebrate, for example family celebrations, Christmas parties, company anniversaries and many more.

Do you need some more holidays because, for example, the house is due for renovation or a long-distance trip is planned? This is no problem at WESSLING, because every employee can get an additional five days of unpaid flexitime per year, whether planned well in advance or spontaneously.

We are happy to support the commitment of our employees and release them for voluntary and social projects, such as with the fire brigade or the military.

Our employees can rely on a safe and sustainable workplace. WESSLING is growing and is therefore constantly on the lookout for qualified colleagues, so it is worth taking a look at our job applications!

We regularly donate to large and smaller charitable projects and organisations as well as associations, because our environment and fellow human beings are a subject close to our hearts.

Every employee receives a daily lunch allowance, which can be redeemed in many places, for example in the canteen at our company headquarters.

With us you can easily lease a new bike and then take it over at a reasonable price, no matter whether you prefer a mountain bike or an e-bike.

At all WESSLING locations, our employees receive free water, coffee and tea. So, you are well looked after from the beginning to the end of the working day.

Our employees show what they are made of as a team, not only at work. We regularly take part in various sporting events, from football tournaments to relay marathons.

We take care of our employees and help them to stay fit – for example with a subsidy for the gym. WESSLING covers about half the costs of the nationwide studio networks Qualitrain and Hansefit.

Everyone knows how exhausting the search for a parking space can be. We want our employees to start the working day in a relaxed manner, therefore, there are sufficient free parking spaces available at our company headquarters. Or how about a job bike as an alternative?

Whether internal or external, training or workshop, webinar or extra-occupational studies – we see ourselves as a learning organisation and therefore, the further education of our employees is very important to us.

Twice a year WESSLING employees have the opportunity to see how their colleagues work in different departments, for example, the IT department or life in the laboratory.

We want our apprentices to complete their training in the best possible way and we support this by giving them two to eight hours a week for study. There are even two weeks for the most intensive learning phase before the final exams.

Our apprentices have the opportunity to complete part of their training at our international locations, for example in France or Switzerland.

WESSLING provides extra stimulus and motivation to study and learn: if our apprentices perform particularly well at school, they receive a bonus – €200 for certificates and even €500 for the final examination.

You have an idea where we can improve? Great! After all, every employee knows best his or her area of work and knows what can be improved – with a bit of luck there is even a small bonus for particularly good suggestions.

Once a year we present the WESSLING Innovation Award for our employees’ best ideas. The winners are happy to receive monetary awards.

We support our employees with capital-forming benefits and a company pension scheme to provide for tomorrow today.

Our employees at the company headquarters in Altenberge can travel more cheaply by bus and train thanks to the Job or Trainee Ticket. This saves money and protects the environment.

On these joyful occasions, WESSLING pays a benefit to its employees.

Our employees enjoy hotel discounts from which the whole family benefits.

Our employees have access to two exclusive and large discount portals – with offers for tickets for shows and events or special conditions via online shops.

For us, diversity means that our employees can learn from one another due to their diversity and uniqueness. They are the key to our success.

Hundreds of job bikes are underway throughout Germany for WESSLING. With this offer, a desired bicycle can be leased inexpensively.

Our engineers and natural scientists advise our customers throughout the entire life cycle of real estate.

"A fantastic atmosphere, and it's great that so many colleagues have made their way here" was the summary of our WESSLING teams at the 2018 Münster marathon.
