Working at GEZE
Agile, digital, international
Working at GEZE means enjoying a challenge within an agile, international, and technically demanding environment. We are at the forefront of developments with regard to the digitalisation, automation and networking of doors and windows. We have the investment capacity and enthusiasm for technology to not only complete on a global level, but to continue our growth.
What we offer
- Our employees can ask for a subsidised VVS-company ticket or a VVS-season ticket for the regional transport provider. The company ticket is additionally subsidised by GEZE.
- We work with AMS-Fuhrparkmanagement to provide employees with a direct salary deduction for company cars. The leasing rate is deducted from the gross salary in a tax-efficient manner. Purchase of the vehicle is in line with the employee’s wishes. It is also possible to lease a company bike or an e-bike.
- Our employees can use a free company car park on GEZE premises.
Our employees have a flexitime schedule so that they are able to flexibly organise their working hours. Any overtime is noted on a flexitime account and can also be taken as time off on an individual basis. Up to 10 flexitime days can be taken on top of 30 days of holiday.
The experience of the last few years shows that collaboration also works in a hybrid working environment. That is why we offer our employees the opportunity to work in a hybrid environment. For this purpose, we use modern tools to exchange information with each other. Through hybrid working, we also contribute to a future worth living. Working from home, but above all replacing business trips with virtual meetings, saves immensely on greenhouse gases. We also rely on digitalisation when it comes to getting to know each other. We now manage most initial interviews within the application process digitally, thus protecting the environment while also reducing the effort for applicants.

Modern work spaces and an inspiring environment
Energy for the day
A modern company restaurant provides the foundation for an energy-charged working day in Leonberg. It offers a healthy range of meals and is subsidised up to 50 per cent - and best of all: it’s super tasty!
Networked work spaces
Ideal working conditions can be found in all departments. The interiors and technical equipment promote the exchange of ideas and networking of specialist areas.
Relaxation and nature
A biotope with bee and insect hotels – including a walking path – offers all employees a place of retreat in the fresh air, and at the same time protects insect and plant species threatened with extinction.
Modern media technology
Good ideas rarely appear at a desk, but rather in agile project spaces or in creative areas. A pleasant environment and modern, mobile media technology make it easier to develop unconventional solutions.
International workforce
Our staff mirror our international focus. They look beyond their departments and work in a constructive, networked, and effective manner.
Flexible rooms - agile working

Quality ‘made in Germany’
We work with the latest machines and aids within our production site. This is the basis of quality ‘made in Germany’, which we are proud of.
Study areas for trainees & students

Work smart

Architecture for innovative capacity
Our development centre provides state-of-the-art work spaces for product development, trials, and tests. Furthermore, products can be tested under real conditions, as the whole building is ‘smart’.
