Career start with Ergon. For smart inventive types
In a successful team, everyone has the same vision of the future. That's why, at Ergon, you’ll work with like-minded people on innovative solutions in an inspiring working atmosphere that allows your ideas and expertise to develop fully. We offer a whole variety of exciting fields and sectors where you can get involved while you're still studying or after you graduate. We work in autonomous teams, so you decide for yourselves what technologies and methods to use for each project. This agility and constant knowledge-sharing reflects our working climate and produces the best possible results.
Already have a qualification?
We offer a permanent employment contract if you already hold a master's degree. Candidates who have completed an apprenticeship and also hold a bachelor's or master's degree are also considered. We will be happy to examine each application on its merits. There are a number of possibilities depending on experience.
Software engineering internship
Ergon offers internships recognised by the Federal Institute of Technology ETH. We accept computer science students to work in software development, generally for internships of at least five months after they have gained their bachelor's degree. In our experience this arrangement maximises benefits on both sides.
We look forward to receiving your written application at least three months before an internship would begin. That gives us time to discuss possible assignments for you.
Software testing internship
We employ students doing their Matura school leaving certificate, and working students, to test our applications. As an intern you will gain valuable experience in a professional IT environment and make an important contribution to the quality of our software.
