Please then allow us a little time to check your documents and consider your application in the personnel management office and the responsible technical department.

We know that many hopes and wishes are attached to an application. Accordingly, we will do our best to get in touch with you as soon as possible. It is important to us that you are always kept up to date on the status of your application.

Please do not be discouraged if we are unable to give you positive feedback. We hope you will come back and check our latest vacancies again at regular intervals – perhaps there will be something more suitable for you next time.

Of course! If you are interested in several different vacancies, you are welcome to submit a separate application for each opportunity which matches your interests and profile. We will then be pleased to consider each individual application.

You will receive immediate confirmation that we have received your application. Please then allow us a little time to check your documents and consider your application in the personnel management office and the responsible technical department. If you have convinced us, we will contact you and invite you to an interview at the company. After we have together agreed a convenient appointment, you will receive an e-mail to confirm the date, time and the person(s) to contact at the company.

Congratulations! You have taken the first hurdle successfully. During the first interview, we would like to get to know you and give you an opportunity to gain a more detailed impression of our company.

In most cases, this initial meeting will be followed by a second interview. You can then be sure that you have made it onto our shortlist. At the second meeting, we would like to learn more about you and will also discuss topics such as contract terms, your wage or salary expectations and a possible starting date.

There is no binding dress code for interviews at Koenig & Bauer. Nevertheless, we recommend you to observe a “business” or “business casual” style, depending on the entry level of the vacancy for which you are applying. You can expect the interview to last about one hour. Be sure to set off in good time, so as to avoid the risk of being late; ideally, you should plan to arrive a few minutes before the agreed time.

Assuming that we decide in your favour, and that you also accept our offer, we look forward to welcoming you into our team in the near future.

Your application documents should:

• indicate the correct contact person (see vacancy description)
• be complete, i.e. cover letter, CV (try to avoid gaps, or at least provide explanations) and references or certificates
• specify the desired location and employment field, as well as your possible starting date.

Before your interview, you can visit our corporate and careers websites to learn more about the company. You should also give thought to your career objectives and relevant interests.

Avoid the temptation to play a role and simply be yourself – you can only be credible if you are perceived as authentic and natural.

By the way, Koenig & Bauer is always written with “oe” ;)

You should possess sound technical knowledge in your chosen field, enjoy working as a member of a team, and above all remain authentic at all times. Specific requirements are mentioned in the individual vacancy descriptions. One important element of our corporate culture is to approach each other fairly and openly.

Yes, all advertised vacancies are open for applications. Our list of vacancies is also updated regularly. Koenig & Bauer does not advertise token vacancies where an internal candidate is already lined up for the position concerned. It may still be the case, however, that the applications process is already well advanced by the time we receive your application and that we are already at the stage of conducting interviews in preparation for a decision.

If you are unsure, you are welcome to call the specified contact person to enquire about the current status or to clarify any other remaining questions.

Yes, of course! Our online portal also provides links for you to submit a speculative application. Once we have considered your application documents, we will give you our feedback as soon as possible. Please do not be disappointed if we have no corresponding position at the moment. We hope you will come back and check our latest vacancies again at regular intervals – perhaps you will then find something suitable.

Unsuccessful applications are not automatically added to an application pool. If we are unable to offer a position to an interesting candidate, despite his or her excellent qualifications and technical knowledge, our applications system will generate a mail message with a special link to allow the applicant to indicate that the application data should remain in the system. You can also come back regularly to check for any new vacancies.
