How would you describe your career at Pollmann?
I have always had a great interest in the automotive industry. In 2017, I found exactly what I was looking for at Pollmann. After about 18 months at Pollmann in Karlstein, I had the opportunity to visit Pollmann North America and look at their Design Engineer position. Following the two-week visit and some time to think about it, I decided to take this opportunity and move to the United States for one year. Before leaving, I underwent intense training which prepared me for the new challenges at the U.S. location.
The smaller team at Pollmann North America requires even closer cooperation among the departments than at Pollmann in Austria. That is precisely what allowed me to gain even more experience and to much better understand the background of the different processes. I can now put the knowledge I gained to excellent use in my current job as Design Engineer for international projects. Life is a constant learning process, and I look forward to future challenges.

Do you have one sentence that describes your approach to work or your philosophy towards life?
Everyone said: That can’t be done! Then someone came along who wasn’t aware of that and just did it.

What do you like best about your work? 
An international environment for the development of new products and the spirit of cooperation within the Pollmann team.

What advice would you give the future generation of Pollmann employees?
There is nothing in life you can't do. If you just put your mind to it, you can learn anything and achieve the goals you have set for yourself.
