Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have questions about your application or about working at Janzen Lifttechnik? Here you’ll find the most important answers at a glance.

What documents do I need for my application?

For a first impression, your CV with your contact details is sufficient. We are happy to receive a covering letter and any additional application documents, but they are not required. If you do not have all documents available, please apply anyway – above all, we would like to get to know you.

How quickly will I hear back from you?

We will review your application personally and usually get back to you within 14 days.

What happens during the interview?

The interview takes place at our premises in Niederlangen. We would like to get to know you and also give you the opportunity to get to know us and your future workplace. Of course, there will also be plenty of time for you to ask us any questions you may have.

What are the working hours?

Our regular working week is 40 hours. Working hours depend on the respective area of work.

Production: There is no shift work and no regular weekend work. You can start flexibly between 6:00 and 7:00 am. On Fridays, the working day ends at lunchtime.

Office: In the office, you can start your working day flexibly between 7:00 and 8:00 am. The exact working hours depend on your role and your team.

Installation: In installation, you will work on site at our customers’ premises. Working hours therefore depend on the respective project and location and may sometimes be longer.

Will I be provided with workwear?

Yes. We provide the required workwear. Cleaning and maintenance are handled by an external service provider, so you do not have to take care of this yourself. We will, of course, explain the exact arrangements when you start with us.

What does the induction process involve?

We will not leave you to get started on your own. During the first few weeks, you will be introduced to your role step by step and supported by experienced colleagues. This gives you time to get to know our processes, your tasks and our team.

Is there a probationary period?

Yes, the probationary period is usually three months. During this time, we can get to know each other, and we will of course be there to support you with any questions.

Can I apply as a career changer?

Yes. We also welcome applications from career changers. What matters most to us is motivation, reliability and a willingness to learn new things. With a structured induction process, we will support you in quickly finding your feet in your new role.

What training opportunities are available?

It is important to us that you can continue to develop. That is why we support you – depending on your role and requirements – with suitable training and development opportunities. These may include product training, technical courses or other specialist qualifications.
