My work is highly valued. I know I have the full trust of my supervisors – in me as a person and in my abilities.
I have been with Waterjet since 2008. There are several reasons for this long commitment. One of them is that you are seen and appreciated here – not just as an employee, but as a person. I have experienced that again and again over the years. Thanks!
I also experience appreciation on a professional level. For example, it is motivating that I am asked for my opinion on certain topics and can actively contribute ideas. This shows me that Waterjet trusts me. They give me challenging tasks and let me handle them independently. I have a lot of flexibility in when I complete which tasks. Whenever I have questions or run into problems, I can always approach someone and get support when needed. I appreciate being able to contribute not only my expertise but also my communicative and humorous personality. What I especially enjoy is achieving things together as a team, with other departments and with customers.
Another important aspect for me: across the entire company, we interact in a friendly, respectful and equal manner. That is part of our DNA and has always been the case. This straightforward, pleasant way of working together means a lot to me.

My team and I have a great deal of freedom to develop individual solutions for demanding customer projects.
In my area, we work with highly precise parts. Some are tiny – the smallest are just 1 mm in size. Different requirements, techniques and materials, teamwork and customer interaction: I love this daily challenge. My tasks require strong technical understanding, the ability to see connections and good spatial reasoning. Most important, however, is a team I can rely on – and that’s exactly what I have here.
We work with passion, always focused on the goal. At Waterjet, collaboration between us and our customers is very close. We do everything we can to find solutions. Sometimes these are highly individual, even unusual. But giving up is not an option. Time and again, we go the proverbial Waterjet extra mile.
This way of working is very fulfilling. Waterjet gives me everything needed to succeed. In addition to the extensive system portfolio, other factors contribute to achieving results. A major one for my team is the freedom to shape our work. We can contribute ideas and solution approaches – and they are heard and taken seriously. Initiative and responsibility are strongly encouraged. Exactly what is needed to bring a project to a successful conclusion.
Christoph Finger, Head of precision production
From the very beginning, Waterjet supported my development. They provide an excellent environment to master my work successfully.
I started at Waterjet in 2004 as a CNC operator. Today, I lead a team of five employees. Waterjet supported me along the way, giving me more and more responsibility and allowing me to grow professionally. A huge opportunity. And it’s not just me – the fact that many colleagues have been here for so long speaks for the company, doesn’t it?
I love leading by example, guiding and motivating my team. The goal is always the same: completing our tasks on time and in perfect quality. Together, we give our best for the company’s success.
The working environment at Waterjet is excellent. I appreciate that my suggestions and ideas are considered and that I have autonomy to plan, coordinate and make decisions. Our well-equipped system portfolio and clear processes help us in our varied daily work.
Good collaboration with all departments is important to me. Teamwork is essential – and Waterjet encourages it, for example through great employee events. We also spend time together outside of work. I can only say: Waterjet is here for me, and I am here for Waterjet.
Enver Krasniqi, CNC specialist and team leader
In research and development, I can use my creativity, contribute my own ideas and work independently on projects.
I rejoined Waterjet at the beginning of 2025 after having previously worked here for nine years. I gained experience at other companies before realizing that I wanted to return.
As an experimental technician in research and development, I can fully apply my technical understanding and creativity. At the same time, the role requires persistence. Our goal is to continuously improve waterjet cutting – making it even more precise, efficient and material friendly. We also constantly explore new applications for our technology.
Innovative, even groundbreaking results are only possible because initiative is truly encouraged at Waterjet. We are supported in taking an active role. We are given the freedom to try new things – and everything needed for that: state-of-the-art systems, the right materials, and strong support from management and other teams.
An important aspect for me is the ability to openly discuss challenges. Not everything works on the first try – that’s the nature of development. But it is all the more satisfying when we make progress. For example, we can now cut glass in the micrometer range with unprecedented precision. A great feeling. I am happy to be part of Waterjet and the team again.
Jan Nikles, Head of research and development
