We make sure you are comfortable, keep you informed, and are open to your questions and suggestions.
Work is an opportunity to grow, learn something new, and achieve common goals.
Our customers are people who entrust us with their orders and pay us. That’s why we do our best every day to ensure their satisfaction.
We enjoy celebrating shared and personal successes. They motivate us to keep moving forward.
We are committed to finding perfect solutions with good ideas. To this end, we are prepared to break new ground.
We would rather risk making wrong decisions than do nothing. Every employee has the opportunity to make decisions on their own responsibility.
Work is a part of our lives that brings us joy, money, and success. But we know there is more to life than that.
You’re just one click away from joining our team!
We look forward to hearing from you and getting to know you. 🙂
In IT, we support all OKE locations worldwide. I work flexitime, so I can take advantage of time differences – on the other hand, I can also simply stay at home a little longer in the morning.
After completing my studies in industrial engineering, I was introduced to interesting specialist areas at OKE and have been head of the development department at OKE Automotive since 2018.
We are “furniture makers” with heart and soul. As a team, we often advise customers directly on site. And even when Ralph is out and about visiting customers on his own as a sales representative, we stay in close contact. With video calls, we even develop products together when there are several kilometers between us.
For visitors, I am the first face or the first voice on the phone. I make sure that everyone finds the right contact person. But I also coordinate many other processes here at reception. For example, I organize the language courses for our employees or the use of our pool vehicles.
Around 70% of our employees work in production. High-quality work clothing, appropriate occupational safety, good lighting conditions and, controlled temperatures play a major role here.
We equip the workstations in our offices with height-adjustable desks, laptops, several monitors, high-quality headsets, and a comprehensive software package (Office365) as required.
And for the sake of completeness: Coffee machines and water dispensers at central points in production and administration are available for everyone to use.
Teamwork is our top priority. We place great value on fair cooperation and treating each other as equals, which we emphasize with a warm, friendly “Du”. We offer this to everyone who wants to get involved and learn something new. Because we believe that the greatest potential for our collective development lies in the diversity of personalities.
We are curious, and personal commitment pays off. Our internal suggestion scheme rewards optimization approaches that drive us forward. In addition, we offer various bonuses for health-promoting behavior, for hiring new employees based on a recommendation, and for anniversaries.
For us, occupational health management has always been more than just exercise balls and nutrition tips. Whether in our in-house gym or in cooperation with an external gym, exercise is a welcome change from everyday working life. Body and mind thank us when we use the equipment, attend fitness classes, get the mountain bikes out, play basketball or volleyball, and go jogging together – all with professional support from our on-site health managers if required. They have the expertise when it comes to individual training plans, physiotherapy, or injury prevention. And, of course, they also have a few nutrition tips at hand if needed.
We love change. It has brought us success. Our economic success also ensures our personal development. Our learning platform helps us take the next steps. Whether technical or product training, English for apprentices, or management training, internal and external trainers regularly open up new perspectives for us. We are currently significantly expanding our range of digital learning formats.
The OKE Group is made up of a total of 19 individual companies that combine, complement, and expand areas of expertise in an extremely effective manner. The five locations in Germany and seven others from Brazil to Vietnam offer a wide variety of development paths. This helps us to foster both the obvious and hidden potential of our employees. Whether development steps are from one area of work to another, across locations, or even abroad – many things are possible. We just need to talk about it.
Our extensive vehicle pool now also includes 40 electric vehicles – and the trend is rising. This saves fuel and is fun, especially for our car pools in production. We provide them with a car free of charge for their commute to work.
OKE Kinderhilfe (Children’s Aid) collects and coordinates donations from employees in order to provide meaningful help on a larger scale. All of the money flows into our projects. Our aim is to help people to help themselves, especially in education – to give as many children as possible in developing countries the chance of a good life and a good job.
With our large photovoltaic park at the Hörstel site, we were one of the pioneers in the use of solar energy in companies. A lot has happened since then! Not only do the charging stations for our electric fleet contribute to increasing our sustainability, but also over 200 individual measures such as the switch to LED lighting, the use of modern cooling and compressed air systems, heat recovery, recycling, and much more.
