FAQs

Honest answers to questions production consultants really ask.

Do I need to be an engineer?

Not necessarily. Bio, industrial or civil engineer all fit, and biomedical, biotech or pharma backgrounds are welcome too. What really counts is how you think.

Can I start right after graduating?

It is possible, but your profile needs to stand out. Most roles ask for a master's and ideally one to two years of experience. For graduates, strong soft skills and things like taking the lead in a student club or the scouts can make the difference.

Is there shift work?

For production roles, often yes: early and late shifts, with a shift premium. Weekend and night work stay exceptional, and we are upfront about it from the start.

Is remote work possible?

There is no remote work in the first year. After that, one day a week is standard, regardless of performance. We are transparent about this from the start.

How long do projects last?

Projects run for at least a year and are often extended to three or four. That gives you real stability.

How do I grow here?

It is a proper learning school with modern kit. You specialise, build real expertise and grow from there.
