Learning from other cultures.

Cristian Benito, Production, MAN Latin America

After spending two years as a product manager in my home country of Brazil, I moved to Germany with my family to take on a fresh career challenge. It was something of a culture shock. So many things were different from home. At lunchtime we had meetings with nothing but sandwiches to eat instead of a proper meal, and people didn‘t even stop working when the German football team was playing! My Brazilian colleagues and I quickly learned to make the most of the cultural differences, and today I can say without a shadow of doubt that the years I spent in Germany were the best time of my life. When you come into contact with other cultures and use different ways of thinking to broaden your horizons, you can achieve the unimaginable.

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.

Don’t let opportunities pass you by.

Maria Pytka, Purchasing, MAN Diesel & Turbo

At my training school, MAN trainees were seen as the privileged few. And for good reason, because we were given the best possible support. If we wanted to ask questions, there were experts on hand to help, we got the information we needed, and we had excellent learning facilities at our disposal. It was the perfect environment in which to prove yourself, and that was exactly what I intended to do. When I was studying for my business administration qualification, my second placement was spent in the purchasing department. This gave me the chance to use my Polish and take on responsibility at an early stage.

I worked hard to realize my ambition and finished second-highest in my class, which earned me an award from the Chamber of Industry and Commerce. Just three months later I joined the purchasing team for large components.
If you demonstrate commitment, MAN will help you realize your potential. It didn’t take me long to realize that this was where I wanted to work after my training.

Be flexible

Thomas Furkel, Research & Development, MAN Truck & Bus

During my degree, I was able to write my semester dissertation for MAN Diesel & Turbo: the introduction of a method for the risk assessment of our large diesel engines. It was a demanding task – and MAN rewarded my efforts with new and exciting challenges. For my thesis, I travelled to India to develop a new product development process for our commercial vehicle division. In 2009 I entered the trainee program, where I learned about a large number of new areas in a short space of time. The international deployments left the greatest impression on me. For example, I coordinated our truck tests on site in Brazil together with our people in Munich. My job as the communications interface between Brazilian and German colleagues showed me how important it is to have social competence in combination with specialist knowledge.

It allows us to communicate on a single level and pursue out goals together.If you can adjust quickly to new situations, MAN offers you opportunities for personal and professional advancement. With us, change is routine.

Have the courage to shoulder responsibility.

Hendrik Clare, Deployment Planning, MAN Diesel & Turbo

I applied for a placement at MAN because I wanted to experience this huge organization and be part of a real project. The reality exceeded my expectations, as I was given the chance to take on responsibility from day one. When I became a permanent employee I found I had more autonomy than I had ever dreamed of. During installation and commissioning deployments in Central America, the Middle East and the Far East, I learned to tackle challenges and make my own decisions. These experiences encouraged my own personal growth.

Today I plan and manage installation deployments for plant construction projects around the world. For me, every day at MAN is a highlight, and no two days are alike. If you have motivation and the willingness to shoulder responsibility, you can expect to be given exciting new challenges. We want people who think in terms of solutions.
