Great reasons to start your journey with us

I’m Aksi, 20 years old, and currently training to become an Electronics Technician for Industrial Engineering at ProXES. After completing 12th grade, I decided not to pursue a high school diploma further. I wanted to dive straight into hands-on work. I’ve always been fascinated by technology and electronics, and when some neighbors recommended ProXES, it instantly felt like the right choice. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through sports-it helps clear my mind.

Why did I choose ProXES?
I’ve always had a strong interest in technical subjects like physics and math. ProXES was a great fit-close to home and full of exciting technical challenges. The blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application really convinced me.

What’s my typical workday like?
My day starts at 7 a.m. and usually ends around 3:30 p.m. I primarily wire small machines, ensuring everything is connected correctly to function smoothly. Alongside that, I attend block courses at the Reintjes Academy, where theory is taught in tandem with practical tasks. It’s a great way to turn what I learn in the classroom into real-world skills.

What should new team members bring to the table?
In this job, being diligent and patient really pays off. Curiosity and ambition are key to tackling new tasks and growing. A solid foundation in math is helpful, and being able to work independently is essential, since you'll often manage your own projects.

My name is Gülten, I’m 23 years old and currently a 3rd-year trainee as an industrial clerk. I started my apprenticeship at ProXES right after graduating from school with a focus on social pedagogy. At first, I was unsure whether my background would be a fit for this role - but thankfully, ProXES gave me the chance, and I haven’t looked back since!

During my training, I’ve rotated through several departments like HR, Purchasing, Accounting, Sales, Controlling, and more. This variety has given me a broad understanding of the company and allowed me to build a strong internal network.

What I appreciate most is the respectful interaction with colleagues and the fun, supportive work environment. The tasks are diverse and often challenging in the best way. If you’re a team player with a good sense of humor, you’ll fit right in at ProXES!

My name is Maximilian Meinecke, I’m 20 years old and currently training as an IT specialist for system integration. My path to ProXES wasn’t entirely straightforward. After finishing grade 10, I trained as an IT assistant and then started a technical high school program, which I left after six months to focus fully on finding the right apprenticeship. During that time, I helped out at my father’s locksmith business. It was actually him who introduced me to ProXES - he knew the company and encouraged me to send a speculative application. Fortunately, it worked out!

The key moment was the job interview. The atmosphere was great, the team was friendly, and I immediately felt comfortable. I was even invited for a trial week, which confirmed that ProXES was the right place for me.

My typical day starts with checking emails and looking through our ticket system. I solve technical issues, set up devices, and support new colleagues during onboarding. In the beginning, I focused a lot on hardware and learned the basics of how a PC is built. Now I’m diving deeper into software – my current project is building a virtual environment, including setting up my own domain controller and network for training purposes.

What I like most is seeing real results at the end of the day – whether it's solving an issue or completing a system setup. The team is open and supportive, and I’m encouraged to take initiative and work independently.

If you're interested in joining us, you should be communicative, open-minded, and respectful. It’s also important to stay calm under pressure. At ProXES, it’s not just about tech skills - it’s also about how you work with others.

My name is Joel, I’m 21 years old and currently a 3rd-year trainee as an industrial mechanic. After completing grade 10, I started a technical-focused high school program, which required a one-year internship. I chose to do mine at ProXES – and that’s where my journey really began. The hands-on experience, exciting projects, and supportive colleagues convinced me to join the company as an apprentice industrial mechanic in 2022.

My daily work is always changing, which I really enjoy. I support wherever help is needed, and I get to work on a wide range of tasks: from welding and drilling to cutting materials like flat steel, pipes, and round bars. I also work on threading and spend time at the lathe. A big part of my job is setting up steam and water connections for machines at the test station.

What I love most is the variety and the fact that I can see the impact of my work immediately. The team dynamic is another highlight – everyone works together, and I felt included from day one.

I think new colleagues should bring motivation, a team mindset, and an interest in hands-on technical work. And don’t forget humor - we laugh a lot, and that makes working together even better.

Looking back, I’m really glad I chose this path. Industrial mechanics is a diverse field that allows me to grow both technically and practically. If you enjoy variety and working as part of a team, you’ll feel right at home here.
