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.

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.

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.

Surpass yourself in a team

Hanne Poulsen, Research & Development, MAN Diesel & Turbo

I started at MAN in 2006 as a doctoral candidate, researching big two-stroke diesel engines using visual test methods. We investigated new possibilities for improving energy efficiency. Our results then flowed into the development of new technologies. As a chemist, I was the exception amongst all the mechanical engineers. But my colleagues were very supportive: I had access to all areas, I was given all the necessary resources, and everyone at MAN was glad to help me. I was soon working independently on projects and combining them with my academic studies. Now, four years later, I have my doctorate and I'm a research engineer in an interdisciplinary team doing basic research on combustion engines. The fact that we all have different viewpoints multiplies our options.

An independent person who moves things forward will never be alone at MAN. With us, teamwork is actively practiced.
