Our Refining business offers above-average remuneration and generous terms based on a collective bargaining agreement. For us, annual additional payments like Christmas bonuses and special contributions are par for the course, as are capital-forming benefits, and a pension contribution. You also have the option to choose performance-related pay or buy company shares at a reduced price in order to boost your potential income.

We don’t just talk about work-life balance for our employees. We do something about it. 30 days’ paid holiday a year immediately when hired; flexible working hours in administration and production roles; additional shift-free days, special leave days as agreed in the collective agreement and attractive options for working part time mean you can live your private life without having to worry about work.

Our company never stands still – production in particular works round the clock, 365 days a year. That makes it even more important to achieve a healthy work-life balance. That’s why we offer all our employees tailored arrangements based on their role to ensure this balance is maintained.

Our production staff, who often work in shifts, can take part in staffing discussions, giving them the opportunity to plan when to take their own leave. These benefits are complemented by well-kept common rooms, catering facilities, free parking and work clothes and safety equipment provided by the firm, as well as a free supply of drinking water available round the clock.

In sales and technical management roles we offer flexible working hours and options for part-time working.

Employees working off-site and in management positions can claim a company car and have the option of working from home for part of their working week.

Our Refining business is a socially aware employer with a long tradition behind it, which offers secure jobs. Clear organizational structures, modern ways of working and a culture of reliability all add up to a supportive and relaxed working environment. We look after each other. An open-door policy among managers and regular discussions between staff and their line managers create trust in the workplace. We are as lean and agile as a small business while offering our employees all the development opportunities that come with being part of a large group.

Both Health and Safety and occupational medicine are very important to us. Our employees benefit from access to the company’s own doctors and treatment facilities, as well as special in-house welfare advice. We encourage our employees to stay fit and healthy with our free gym, including a fitness trainer, and a highly active company sports society that offers discounted gym memberships off-site and a wide range of other ways to keep fit.

We encourage your professional development through internal and external training courses and excellent opportunities for promotion. Along with our sandwich programmes, trainee programmes and other development opportunities we can also release employees temporarily to undertake further professional training with company support.
