General Questions
Because we’re growing internationally while maintaining the team spirit of a mid-sized company. At ELATEC, you’ll work on cutting-edge RFID solutions—with a high degree of autonomy, flexible work models, and real opportunities for growth within ELATEC and the Allegion Group. If you’re looking for flat hierarchies, open communication, and a strong international team spirit, you’ve come to the right place.
It’s very important to us that you want to make a difference . We value a willingness to help and to pitch in when needed—not just in your own area, but by looking beyond your own scope of work. You should enjoy learning and trying new things, in line with our value “Be curious beyond the obvious.”
A thorough onboarding process is very important to us. Before you start, we’ll create an onboarding plan to topics help you quickly familiarize yourself with keyand important interfaces . You’ll also be paired with a buddy—for both professional and personal support. Regular feedback sessions will also take place during your probationary period.
We don’t have a classic career ladder. We have and live a very flat hierarchy. Naturally, we have managing directors, division heads and team managers. But assuming a leadership role is just one path to growth; individual professional development is equally as important and valuable to us. We do a lot on the basis of individual advancement, as it is appropriate for the person.
No, but we have a fully equipped kitchen where employees often cook together. A large supermarket, bakeries and various food/snack options are in our immediate vicinity. We provide water, coffee and tea free of charge.
ELATEC is very dog-friendly. If you let us know you want to bring your dog, we’ll see if it can work – if, for example, a coworker is scared of dogs or has an allergy, your four-legged friend will have to stay at home. That’s also true if your dog doesn’t get along with the other office dogs.
Working time and workplace
We have a part-time option for many positions. We’ll work with you to determine how many hours you can and would like to work. We are very flexible when it comes to the working hour regulation. We can also imagine filling a full-time position with persons working part time. Or the other way around. Of course, it always has to suit the position, too.
Yes, if your job is suitable and, for example, does not require a permanent presence in the office, such as in production.
ELATEC wants to combine the best of both worlds - mobile work and office: working mobile and thus benefiting from greater flexibility and a better work-life balance AND enjoying being together and exchanging ideas with colleagues on office days: because it's all in the mix. The whole thing as simple and flexible as possible: All employees are in the office at least 50% of the working time per month. Operational necessities must of course be taken into account here.
During the induction and probationary period, it may make sense to spend more than 50% of the working time in the office. It will be discussed with you as part of the induction planning.
