    I completed my foreman training during a leave of absence for educational purposes

    I began at Bosch with an apprenticeship as a machinist. After graduation I worked in Assembly Technology and Plant Engineering. Since my manager and I both had keen interest in having me complete the foreman training, we agreed to a leave of absence to that end.

    I had enough time for my educational training

    My leave of absence was 10 months altogether, which means 2 semesters. I was able to invest all my energy into my training to become a foreman during this time. In order to be able to stay on top of what was going on and new developments in production despite my leave of absence, I was employed on a minimal basis. This made it easier to step back into the job as a foreman.

    As a foreman I have a lot of responsibility

    My responsibilities as a foreman span from coordinating employees in Plant Engineering to the final inspection just before dispatch to the customer. In my inspections I am in regular contact with colleagues from other departments. Together we are able to optimize the processes and at the same time rectify any faults.

Interested in further training? Or maybe you have other personal commitments or simply want to spend more time with your family. You’re always welcome to talk it over with us. We have lots of ways to make your working hours more flexible. After all, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Together we’ll tailor a schedule to suit your needs and ours.

Understanding our flexible work models

 

Flexitime – fitting it all in

With flexitime, the choice is yours: you could, for instance, start later and finish later or clock in early to leave early. If you have to work overtime, you can reclaim those hours as needed. That way, personal appointments can easily be slotted into the working day.

Part time, smart time

Part-time work at Bosch comes in many guises, from reductions in daily, weekly and monthly hours to job sharing. With us, you can define your workload individually. Of course, as a part-time associate, you’re still eligible for the same opportunities and career advancement options as your full-time coworkers.

 

Part-time telework – working from two places

Part-time telework allows you to fulfill many of your responsibilities from home. You follow a regular schedule, dividing your time between home and office. That means you can stay in touch with business procedures but also enjoy greater flexibility.

Executives – work your way

As an executive, we give you plenty of free rein. You can apportion your contractually defined working hours as you see fit. Establishing your work-life balance is also in your hands. If a jog at lunchtime clears your head, then go for it. Perhaps being home for dinner with the family is high on your agenda. As long as you’re producing results, we’re happy.
