Career

“In 2015, after eight years of workshop experience, I joined Diesel Technic as a development specialist. After an intensive induction phase, I have since then independently developed several items for a wide variety of product groups over the past years. In my current position as a developer, some of my work involves the workshop network, where we test items under real conditions. As part of the international Parts Specialists team, I am also regularly in front of the camera to give our workshop professionals hints and tips straight from the workshop to support them in their everyday work.”

Kevin Berger, Developer, Engineering & Development Department

"In 2010, I started working for Diesel Technic directly with the job of a design engineer after finishing technical school. After an intensive training phase, I developed articles for various product groups independently for many years. In my current position, as Head of the Engineering & Development, I have management responsibility for more than 20 employees. Over the years I have developed step by step at Diesel Technic - both professionally and personally. As a father of three children, I particularly appreciate the compatibility of work and family."

Christian Otto, Executive Manager Engineering

“Since I joined Diesel Technic in 2007, my career and also the company have developed significantly. Starting out as a temporary employee, I was around when order picking was still done on paper – and I have been involved in all subsequent modernisations ever since. It did not take long before I was taken on as an employee in the logistics department at Diesel Technic, from where I worked my way up to my current position as Group Supervisor in Goods Outwards. Today, among other things, I am responsible for our fully automated small parts warehouse with shuttle technology. It is very important to me personally that a person’s efforts are noticed and valued. In addition to the career options I have here, I enjoy the good cooperation among my colleagues on a daily basis.”

Waldemar Renn, Group Supervisor Goods Outwards

“I joined Diesel Technic in 2012 as part of doing my master’s thesis. Right from the start, I was allowed to work on cross-location projects. After finishing my studies, I was given the opportunity to work at the company’s subsidiary in Dubai. There I was responsible for marketing activities, including supporting distribution partners in the Middle East, as well as in West and East Africa. Those three years in Dubai played a great role in shaping me and left me with memories that will stay with me for my entire life. Since 2016, I and my team at the company head office in Kirchdorf have been responsible for marketing activities with our worldwide distribution partners, as well as for corporate communications for the Diesel Technic Group. I am very grateful for the career opportunities I have been offered. As a family man, I particularly appreciate the company’s support with childcare costs.”

Volker Brinkmann, Executive Manager Marketing Communications

“As a member of the Parts Specialists team, I support workshop professionals in their day-to-day work in the area of automotive parts and accessories. In our YouTube videos I can specifically pass on the knowledge I have acquired over the years. After completing my apprenticeship as a mechatronics technician for commercial vehicles, I spent several years working as a workshop journeyman before I joined Diesel Technic in their Aftersales Service department. There, with the support of the company, I completed my training as a commercial vehicle master while working. I love the mixture of teamwork and independent work that I have in my current position as group leader and Parts Specialist. Furthermore, thanks to my years of experience in the workshop, I am in a position to help ensure product quality and contribute my ideas when it comes to product optimisation. In addition to the responsibility I have, I really enjoy my diverse tasks, in which we also implement shared ideas for process and service optimisation within our department.”

Lars Mesloh, Group Supervisor Aftersales Quality

“In November 2010, I started as a career changer (with training as a chimney sweep) in the incoming goods department. After my induction, I was able to prove myself in a variety of tasks and develop into a senior logistics specialist. I also had several opportunities to help with the relocation of international subsidiaries and broaden my horizons in the process. Since January 2020, I have been working as a group leader in incoming goods and am responsible for the work results and organisation of around ten employees. At Diesel Technic, you can always develop and achieve many goals through hard work and commitment. As a father of two children, I very much welcome the fact that childcare costs are covered for children who are not of school age.”

Dominic Köper, Group Supervisor Goods Inwards

“I’ve been working as Product Management Administrator at Diesel Technic since July 2023. After completing my training as a paralegal and notary’s assistant, I made a conscious decision to make a fresh start in my career – with the aim of developing professionally and personally. That’s why I applied as a career changer at Diesel Technic, a company that embraces diversity and promotes development. In my role in product management, I am involved in various processes, work with international and national suppliers and coordinate product maintenance closely with other departments. At Diesel Technic, I particularly appreciate the open ear for employees and the wide range of benefits that contribute to a good work-life balance.”

Ly Nguyen, Product Management Administrator

“After training as a wholesale and foreign trade merchant, I started at Diesel Technic in logistics management in 2012. In 2016, I switched to product management due to automation. In 2018, I returned to logistics at my own request – with the full support of the company. Since 2019, I have been working in the control center for the automated small parts warehouse. In the final phase of the project, I was able to contribute my logistics experience and help shape the transition to live operation. Today, I ensure that everything runs smoothly, maintain master data, solve software problems, support expansion projects – and also provide active support in order picking if required. What is particularly important to me is that Diesel Technic takes employees’ interests into account and recognizes performance. My career shows that you can help shape and develop your career here.”

Timo Adolph, Coordinator Shuttle Goods Outwards

“After my training as an industrial clerk, I started at Diesel Technic in product management in 2015. I initially supported the product managers and started a distance learning bachelor’s programme at the same time, where I received a lot of support from the company and my colleagues – especially with my bachelor’s thesis. Thanks to flexible working hours, I was able to attend lectures and prepare well for exams without having to give up my hobbies. Today, I manage my own product groups and am involved in various process optimisation projects. What could be better professionally than seeing your own work bear fruit?”

Jennifer Rehling, Senior Product Manager in Product Management

“After I left Kirchdorf for Thuringia in 2009 to train as an industrial clerk, it was clear that I should return home after graduation. Diesel Technic gave me the opportunity in 2012 and employed me in the warranty management department at the time. In my current position as Aftersales Manager, I am responsible for handling customer enquiries after the purchase. I deal with all matters relating to transport damage, quality complaints and delivery discrepancies. I am mainly responsible for returns management and the coordination of insurance matters. As an active volunteer, I particularly appreciate the flexible working hours and the fact that I can plan and carry out my day-to-day work independently.”
