Exciting and challenging tasks, a clean and structured working environment, short communication channels and flat hierarchies make RICKMEIER a sought-after employer far beyond the borders of the Sauerland. Many employees have been with the company for many years and this underlines the pleasant working atmosphere in the various departments. The Sauerland is the land of hills and lakes and is one of the most attractive local recreation areas. With almost 40,000 km of signposted hiking trails, mountains up to a height of 843 m, countless lakes and ski slopes, the Sauerland offers a unique range of leisure activities. Despite its rural location, there are good connections to the motorway network; cultural, sporting or even culinary offerings are on the doorstep. Cities like Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund or Münster are easily accessible. Kindergartens, schools, secondary schools, technical colleges and universities are easy to reach.

Work-life-balance
It is a matter of course for RICKMEIER that employees should have enough free time to relax from their daily work, enjoy time spent with family and friends and pursue social commitments.

RICKMEIER is concerned that employees have enough free time to relax from work and spend time with their families and friends. In order to ensure this, a flexitime system is used, which gives employees the opportunity to organise their own working hours within a given framework. At RICKMEIER the focus is not only on cooperative working, but also on joint leisure activities such as playing football regularly and participating in bicycle races and hikes.

Family-friendly
The wishes and needs of RICKMEIER employees have high priority and the company always has an open ear for the concerns of its workforce. Part-time working, flexitime and parental leave for mothers and fathers are realised at RICKMEIER.
