3con stands for transformation on equal terms – and has done so for over 20 years. As an owner-managed management consultancy, we work with our clients from across the process industry and beyond to develop innovative ideas into marketable solutions. Our strength: we implement things quickly and effectively. For us, sustainable project success means that the solutions developed are accepted and embraced by the entire organisation. In the consulting process, we therefore see ourselves as catalysts, facilitators and enablers all at once.
We perform at a high level – uncompromising, but in a non-agitated manner and without midnight team meetings or weekend work. We respect the responsibility that comes from the diversity of family backgrounds. We therefore have a flexible working model that adapts to the needs of different phases of life. This is why for the fourth time we have been awarded the berufundfamilie audit certificate, a seal of quality for employers who contribute to a family-friendly transformation of the workplace.
At 3con, employees from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds come together. We are united by a strong team spirit, because together we enjoy what we do. While the learning curves are steep, the company structure is flat. This results in an open atmosphere that benefits everyone. Not least the corporations and medium-sized companies that we support with our industry knowledge – especially in the chemical industry – and our nuanced expertise in the areas of operational excellence, sustainability and digitalisation.
You can join 3con in various ways – depending on where you are in your professional life. We continuously offer exciting entry opportunities. Interested? Then see what suits you best.
Are you in the final stages of your studies and thinking about starting your career? Do you have (almost) all the qualifications you need to join us directly, but are still unsure whether the consulting industry is the right career path for you? Then apply for an internship with us!
You should be able to commit to at least 12 weeks, as we hire interns on a project basis. This allows you to take on responsible tasks from day one and learn from experienced consultants. We want to give you the opportunity to find out whether you have the necessary consulting skills or are interested in acquiring them.
But be prepared: if your profile impresses us, we are generally interested in offering you a permanent position with us.
Have you completed your studies with excellent grades and are you interested in joining a boutique consulting firm? Then you’ve come to the right place!
In addition to outstanding analytical skills, management consulting also requires a certain amount of life experience. At 3con, we believe that this can be gained in many different ways—whether through an extensive academic background, diverse practical experience, or an interesting extracurricular and personal profile. Your interpersonal and emotional skills are also important to us. Management consulting is a people business, and stakeholder management will therefore be an ongoing part of your work with us.
If you impress us with your overall package, you can expect comprehensive onboarding when you join us as a consultant. We also support your individual development with our buddy program, which provides you with a specific person to offer advice and assistance, especially in the early stages. In addition, we offer a comprehensive range of training courses on specialist topics and soft skills.
Because: We want you to be able to take on responsible tasks early on—for example, preparing and moderating workshops or independently working on individual project strands. Together with constructive feedback and transparent development forms, we ensure that you can achieve your professional goals together with us.
