Make dreams real

Andrea Raufer, Product Management, MAN Truck & Bus

My childhood dream: one day I would develop trucks myself. After all, my father drove an MAN truck and often took me with him on trips. Right after I finished high school I started working on my dream career. I began with an internship at MAN. Thanks to my good performance, the company supported me throughout my studies. The scholarship enabled me to study mechanical engineering and at the same time, it gave me valuable practical experience. For example, in India I created a controlling tool that can be used to monitor the progress of a project. As a works student, I optimised the variance of our tyre portfolio. I wrote my dissertation about a truck concept for the Latin American market. At MAN I've always found new and exciting challenges. For the past year I've been a trainee in the area of Product Management.

If you have a dream, you can make it real at MAN.

Take on challenges.

Hannah Neumann, Compressor Technology, MAN Diesel & Turbo

At MAN, flexibility is a valuable asset. As a trainee I had two years to acquire an in-depth knowledge of the organization. But the plan soon changed and I became a project manager in plant planning. It was a huge challenge, as I had very little time to acquaint myself with my new surroundings. But the new post also gave me the chance to prove myself. Today I’m responsible for planning projects at the tendering stage worth millions of euros. It’s a huge responsibility, and you can’t afford to get your estimates wrong. Moving in unknown territory has become part and parcel of my job, which is exactly what I love about it. If you’re open to new challenges, you’ll broaden your own horizons. At MAN there are many opportunities just waiting to be grasped.

Learn something new every day.

Thomas Grimm, Product Management, MAN Truck & Bus

Three months into my traineeship my supervisor said to me, “How do you feel about improving our supplier relations in Spain?” That was my first international deployment, and it wasn’t the last either. While I was a trainee I managed several projects aimed at optimizing purchasing at MAN Truck & Bus. This gave me the chance to prove that I could solve problems myself and operate confidently in unfamiliar territory. Later I was involved in establishing the joint venture in India, and because there were few existing structures it was like being a pioneer – challenging and exciting at the same time. Since the beginning of 2009 I’ve been responsible for product planning for vehicles built in China for other growth markets. If you’re open to learning new things every day, you’ll make an impact at MAN.

Convincing by doing

Dr. Alexander Kempf, Product Management, MAN Truck & Bus

I live for mechanical engineering. A good reason for applying to join MAN after obtaining my doctorate. I was on my way to the interview when I saw these impressive trucks and I knew at once: this is where I want to work. From that moment on I have been passionate about MAN. I decided to take part in the 15-month trainee program, where I was introduced to a large number of departments. Moreover, I was given the freedom to delve deeper into areas that I found especially interesting. For instance, I was allowed to tinker on the trucks myself in one of our service workshops. Shortly after my time as a trainee, I led a project that played a decisive role in shaping my professional career: using comparisons with the competition, we identified the potential for improvements in our products.

I have now been responsible for this task for almost three years and I am now in charge of a department with 10 employees.
If you bring sound knowledge and commitment to the job, MAN is the right place for you. At MAN, actions count.
