At Schunk, we see ourselves as OneFirm—that is, as a strong group of companies that shares knowledge, works together, and lives by common values. Internal job changes are an important part of this: they promote individual development, strengthen cooperation across company and location boundaries, and secure valuable know-how within the company in the long term.
“An internal transfer opens up new perspectives – for employees and for us as a company. That's exactly what our OneFirm concept is all about.”
– Marie Hanika-Magnus, HR Officer at Schunk
Melanie returned to her original company after a secondment—with new experiences and a fresh perspective:
“In addition to many professional and personal benefits, a secondment is also helpful for the company. You get to know other teams and bring back a breath of fresh air.”
Thomas decided to change positions within his company – from work preparation to controlling:
“The change was just right for my personal and professional development. I was able to further my education and take on new responsibilities.”
Joseph moved from one Schunk company to another:
"The advantage? You know the culture, the values, the processes – and yet you're in a completely new role. A real fresh start without having to start from scratch."
An internal change at Schunk does not mean starting all over again. Instead, we build on your previous experience. Previous periods of service, entitlements, and affiliation remain unchanged – you benefit from a familiar environment and new challenges at the same time.
"Many people believe that a change means a new probationary period or that previous periods of service are forfeited. That's not the case – all previous entitlements remain in place."
– Marie Hanika-Magnus, HR Officer at Schunk
Whether you are looking for an apprenticeship, a dual study program, direct entry, or professional development, Schunk offers you not only a start, but also long-term prospects. We believe that talent grows when given space. And we know that change is often the best catalyst for new ideas.
If you are looking for an employer that combines security with opportunities for development, reliability with dynamism, and structure with flexibility – then we look forward to hearing from you.
At Schunk, leadership skills are not just a skill, but the key to a successful future - both for our employees and for our company. This is precisely where the Schunk Corporate Advanced Management Programme - CAMP for short - comes in: an exclusive further training programme for Schunk colleagues who want to take on management responsibility or specifically develop their leadership skills.
Discovering young talents, fostering them, and actively opening doors to professional life – this is the goal of the Ludwig Schunk Foundation. Through programs like the Deutschlandstipendium and the Ludwig Schunk Awards, it guides students on their journey from university to a successful career entry.
