You have finished specialist studies and know exactly what you want to do? The direct start will not only help you to hit the ground running on your chosen profession but will also permit you to learn on the job. You can normally take up an attractive position with Viega directly after graduating. If you don’t find a position that interests you among the listed vacancies, you can still apply for a position on your own initiative.

Graduates describe how they started at Viega. Some chose the direct start, others came through the trainee programme.

I have always been interested in getting things moving and redesigning. Through my training as a gas and water engineer I was given the opportunity early on to “come to grips” with the products that I am now continuing to develop. But in the long run “coming to grips” was not enough. I also wanted to “grasp”. For this reason I started studying supply engineering and completed my degree with a practice-oriented dissertation. This systematic professional and personal development gave me my entry into Viega, where I can actively help to shape the company’s future as a development engineer in the R&D department. Through professional and targeted work in my discipline I have the possibility of helping the company and myself and of working on the tasks I am interested in and qualified to do in young and flexible project teams. Not only do I now “grasp” more, but I also know why my colleagues are so enthusiastic and take so much pleasure in their work. (Christoph Schreckenberg, Germany)
