When HERING invited me in 2016 to take the entrance test, then to the interview, and finally to sign my apprenticeship contract, I was thrilled. After completing my apprenticeship, I was taken on as a project assistant in the railway construction division. I still really enjoy my work here at HERING. I can apply my knowledge and skills while also learning new ones.
Thanh Van Tran,
Office Management Clerk
Employee Marion Hees
In 2000, I started my apprenticeship as an office communications clerk at HERING. After completing my training, I was able to take part in HERING’s junior development program. As a result, from 2007 until the birth of my first child in 2012, I held the position of Head of International Sales. After returning from parental leave in 2014, I began working as a project management assistant. Following the birth of my second child in 2016, I took another three years of parental leave. Today, I am happy to be back on board at HERING. I mainly support International Sales and I’m very grateful for the opportunity to balance both my career and family life.

At HERING, further training and employee development are a top priority. After completing a part-time distance learning program, I successfully graduated as a Construction Business Administrator in just 1.5 years! Throughout the entire training, I could fully rely on HERING’s support. Now, I’m excited to put the knowledge I gained through this qualification into practice in my work at HERING.

HERING-Locomotive Hartmut
The main task of a train driver is to supply the construction site with the required building materials – for example, wagons with ballast or sleepers. What matters most is that the requested materials are delivered punctually and reliably. I’ve now been working in this profession for ten years. Thanks to the constantly changing work locations, it never gets boring: conditions on site are always different, and you get to meet many new people.

Employee Torben
Already during the job interview, I was made aware of the wide range of benefits and the flexible working hours. After the birth of my first daughter, I had the opportunity to take two months of parental leave and support my wife in completing her teacher training. Those two months with my daughter were a wonderful and intense time that I would never want to miss.
