Frequently Asked Questions
Would you like to join us, but still have a few questions? Here you will find the most important information about your entry opportunities, our application process and similar topics.
Yes, we continually update our job portal. This is why it only shows you vacant positions.
It depends on the job you apply for, because: the Krones.digital community stretches over multiple corporations within the Krones Group. And each of them has a slightly different recruiting process. However, you will always receive notification once your application has reached us. If we should need a slightly longer time to process your application, we will keep you informed with a status update.
After a job interview, your point of contact from Human Resources will be only too pleased to give you feedback about how your interview went. Unfortunately we cannot provide you with any information for job applications declined without a job interview.
Of course you may! Tip: If your application for a particular position has been declined, it is best to apply for another job in the Krones.digital community. This will increase your chances of success. Or have you already had a job interview with us and your application was subsequently declined? Then we would recommend that you first request feedback from your contact person in Human Resources.
No, a phone call has no impact on the selection process. However, we are only too pleased to answer specific questions if they are important for your application. Everything else will be clarified in the job interview.
Yes, you may of course also apply for more than one job if you would be suitable for a number of positions. However, it is important for us to find a common thread in your applications and primarily to visualise your suitability for the individual job profiles.
If you are unable to find a suitable job vacancy, we would also be pleased to receive an unsolicited application from you.

All of the information and data you provide us with will be treated with care in accordance with the stipulations of the EU Data General Protection Regulation and the German Data Protection Act (new) [EU-GDPR and DPA (new)].

The duration of the mandatory internship depends on the guidelines and the study regulations of the respective place of higher education and is normally between three and six months. You should also plan at least three months for a voluntary internship.
It is generally possible to combine an internship with a final-thesis position. However, this is decided on a case-by-case basis.
