Job Description

Company Description

The Robert Bosch Tool Corporation is the largest privately held global manufacturer of power tools and accessories. With recognized brands like Bosch, Dremel, CST Berger, and Vermont American, we are positioned to continue to be a leader in the power tool market.

While brand names are important, they don’t answer the question of why we work here. One big reason is that being privately held, we aren’t influenced by external forces like the stock market. We have our own internal goals and targets, but they’re OUR goals. That is why we’ve been around over 130 years, and why you can build a career in a stable, growing workplace.

People can make or break your work experience. While our people are highly skilled in their areas of expertise, we are also very collaborative, open and willing to help you learn and grow, experiencing different aspects of the business over the course of your career. We also value innovation; this is a place where ideas and new approaches are heard and valued. In fact, we’re one of the top 25 patent producing organizations on a global basis. Our Associates' ideas are important to the longevity of the business. But, let’s suppose you believe businesses shouldn’t just be in the business of making money - they should give back and be a part of the community. Did you know that every business unit of Bosch donates time and resources to educational efforts, disaster relief efforts and other charitable endeavors all the time? It’s part of our DNA!

Every business has its challenges, and we’re no exception. But, if you want to help us evolve as a business, bring your skills and passion to Bosch Power Tools!
