Start matcherMy experiences at SCHWENK
I work here at the Borgsdorf ready-mixed concrete plant, north of Berlin, as the sole plant operator and mixing supervisor. I produce approximately 16,000 m³ of fresh concrete per year. I am responsible for the mixing plant, for ensuring high-quality concrete and for maintaining good customer relations. My reliability, technical expertise, high-quality concrete and friendly manner ensure that we retain our regular customers. Every day brings new challenges that need to be overcome. This is why SCHWENK has a good reputation in the market – it is the only way we can survive in a highly competitive market with several competitors.
SCHWENK is a very old family business with a long tradition and consistency in corporate management, as well as strong regional roots. You can sense that building materials are a way of life and a corporate philosophy. The company takes great responsibility for its employees. This is evident, among other things, in the fact that the family and employees still share the same values, such as friendly cooperation with a pleasant tone of communication and mutual respect, appreciation and trust. There are short chains of command. Everyone is given specialist training opportunities and regular courses on occupational safety are held.
Remuneration is based on collective agreements and holiday pay and Christmas bonuses are also paid.
