Your role
What awaits you with us
What you work with every day — the equipment, tasks and technology of this position.
Milling up to 26 m travel
You mill large components on two Zayer Thera W (26 m and 16 m travel, 30° swivel head accurate to 0.001°) and the Soraluce FR 20,000 — up to 50 t to size in a single setup.
Vertical turning Ø 4,800 mm
On the Feichter vertical lathe (Ø 4,800 mm, Siemens 840D) you turn and mill heavy parts in one pass — with driven tools for complete turn-mill machining.
Individual parts, not an assembly line
You take charge of heavy individual parts and small batches from batch 1 up to 50 t in full — no series cycle, but demanding one-offs with full dimensional responsibility.

Good German makes everyday work on the shop floor easier: drawings, welding plans and team coordination are all in German. It does not have to be perfect. At Bock, colleagues from many nations work side by side, some with little German — what counts is the craft. If in doubt, a short phone call is best: a conversation clears this up faster than a form.
Can I do a trial workday?
Yes. Trial work is common with us and has proven its worth: a day on the shop floor shows both sides more than a long conversation — what the work really looks like and how it fits in the team. The date is arranged individually. The day serves mutual acquaintance and is not paid.
What happens after I apply?
Every application is reviewed personally here. Usually a short phone call follows, then a personal interview and, where it fits, a trial workday. Because we go through the documents thoroughly, a reply can sometimes take a little while; nothing gets lost in the process. For questions in between, a call to the extension above helps.
Will my foreign qualification be recognised?
That cannot be answered in general terms. The recognition of foreign qualifications is not decided by us but by the competent authorities, and it is always assessed case by case. For an application this is not an exclusion criterion: what counts is what someone can do and wants to do — existing certificates, work experience, the trial workday and honest interest in the job.
Which documents do I need?
A cover letter is not required. A CV and references do belong with it, though — without them an application cannot be assessed. It also helps to add a short introduction in the message field: a few sentences about experience and motivation often say more than a certificate.
Is there shift work?
Yes. Machining runs a two-shift operation: early and late shift alternate weekly. There is no night shift. Weekend work only happens by arrangement, depending on the order situation.
