At Oertli, people work together to make the difference. We are united by the satisfaction of doing meaningful work, a family-oriented atmosphere, and a shared commitment to taking responsibility. This is what creates the #oertlispirit, something that can be felt in our day-to-day collaboration and in our contribution to eye health.
Our work helps people around the world see better again. That gives many roles at Oertli a special sense of purpose, whether in development, production, quality, logistics, administration or direct customer contact.
At Oertli, employees are not just numbers. We know one another and treat each other as equals. This family-oriented culture creates a positive working atmosphere and helps us perform at our best every day.
Those who contribute ideas, take initiative and are willing to take on responsibility are given the space to do so at Oertli. Large and small successes alike show that the #oertlispirit grows when people move forward together and achieve their goals as a team.
At Oertli, there is no single predefined career path. People join us through apprenticeships, internships, specialist roles or with experience from other industries. What matters is what develops from there. Those who stay curious, want to take on responsibility and continue developing their skills will find an environment at Oertli that supports individual career paths.
«My journey at Oertli began more than 15 years ago with a commercial apprenticeship and a Vocational Baccalaureate. After completing my studies, I moved into Product Management. There, I was able to contribute my knowledge, work across different departments and support exciting projects relating to our products.»
Fabienne, Head of Product Management
«Even during my apprenticeship, I had the opportunity to work in my current role and get to know the team. After completing my apprenticeship, I was given greater autonomy and was able to organise my work more independently. This trust helped me grow step by step into my role in device manufacturing.»
Shuajb, Device Manufacturing Technician
Whether in development, production, administration or another specialist field, Oertli offers a wide range of opportunities to contribute your skills and continue developing your career.
