3 things to know about the biases limiting your options

I don’t have the strength or stamina

“I don’t have the strength or stamina.”

You don’t need either to succeed here.

At EGGER, safety comes first. Our workstations, tools, and processes are designed to support you, not push your limits. We prioritise smart, innovative ways of working, so tasks are completed safely, efficiently, and often as part of a team. What matters most is your mindset and willingness to learn, not how much you can lift.

"Rigid shifts will disrupt my personal life.”

Think of shifts as structure, not restriction.

At EGGER, our shifts start and finish on time, giving you clarity and consistency. You’ll know your schedule a year in advance, making it easier to plan childcare, family time, or personal commitments. For many, this predictability means more freedom to enjoy life outside of work, without the surprises that can come with traditional office hours.

„Rigid shifts will encroach on my personal life.”
„I have zero tech skills.”

"I have zero tech skills.”

That’s absolutely fine - we’ll help you build them.

At EGGER, we value transferable skills just as much as technical ones. Being organised, reliable, detail-oriented, or great at working with people all count, and they’re skills you might already have. What matters most is your curiosity and enthusiasm to learn. The technical know-how? We’ll provide the training and support to get you there.

Manufacturing is what we do

Answers to your questions

Does EGGER have an induction program for new employees?

Our step-by-step process prepares you for your new role and responsibilities. It’s designed to help you settle in quickly and smoothly.
On your first day, you will meet the team and learn more about our company and operations.
In your first weeks, we will introduce you to general, company-specific, and specialist topics. You will sit down with your line manager or supervisor for a feedback meeting.
A colleague from your department will be your “buddy.” They will show you around and provide advice and support.

“On my first day at work, everyone was a little awkward because this was the first time, for them and for me, that there was a woman on an all-male team. [But] I felt super comfortable from the very start. Whatever I work on – the guys support me in every way.”

Tünde Jakab, Machine Operator, EGGER St. Johann

How does the employee referral program work?

At EGGER UK, we believe in the power of referrals.That's why we particularly appreciate applications that come through recommendations from family, friends, and acquaintances. When a referral leads to a successful hire, we reward the referring employee a bonus of £250!

Here’s how it works:

• Make sure to mention the name of the person who referred you in your application.
• The bonus will be issued after you complete your probation period successfully.

What is the culture like at EGGER?

Our workplace is built on collaboration, innovation, and respect, where diverse perspectives are valued and encouraged.
