What awaits you with us

What you work with every day — the equipment, tasks and technology of this position.

From goods receipt to dispatch

You receive goods, inspect them and pick complete production orders through to the dispatch-ready assembly — you keep the flow of material running through the entire works.

Managing stock in Microsoft Navision

You take independent charge of stocking in and out, inventory management and scheduling in the Microsoft Navision ERP — the warehouse runs through your head, not just the forklift.

Warehouse worker and maintenance technician in one

You issue tools and hand machines, inspect and repair them and take on the servicing and maintenance of the production machines — technical know-how meets responsibility, two roles in one job.

Frequently asked questions about applying

How good does my German have to be?

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.
