// Careers · open applications
No invented vacancies. An open invitation all the same.
Advertised roles go here the moment they exist; adverts that only fill a page do not. If you think you would fit, simply write to us directly.
// Being straight about it
Why there are no roles listed here on spec
Plenty of career pages list positions that were filled long ago, or adverts with no real need behind them. We skip that. When we are looking for someone it says so here, and when we are not, this page is exactly what it looks like: an open door.
In a company our size the need usually appears suddenly anyway. A larger project lands, a client expands, an area grows. Whoever wrote to us earlier has the advantage, because we look through the applications we already know first.
None of this calls for a polished portfolio. A single page about what you can do and what you would enjoy doing is a perfectly good start.
// The work
On the whole system rather than one cog
Working at a systems integrator means seeing the chain from the socket in the wall to the application running on top of it. That is more demanding than a single speciality — and you learn considerably more.
What we take onCabling, network, servers, cloud, security — in the same building, often in the same project.
You talk to the people you are working for. No tickets without a face behind them.
Whoever takes on an area decides within it — with backing, not with an approval chain.
Assignments across the Rhineland and Rhine-Ruhr instead of weeks away from home.
// Everyday work
How the work actually goes
Not a promise about company culture, but three things that follow from the kind of work we do.
You see a case through
Take it in, solve it, write it down, report back. There is no point at which you hand something half-finished to the next person.
Asking is normal
Nobody knows cabling, cloud and security equally well. Asking saves the client time, and that counts for more than looking self-assured.
New subjects find you
Because we cover the whole chain, topics land on your desk that you would otherwise have to go looking for. Training happens in projects, not in a classroom.
// Applying
Three steps, no application funnel
We run no applicant portal. An email is enough, and it lands directly with the people who decide.
Email us
Briefly: what you can do, what you would like to do, from when. CV as an attachment, references later. The address is info@cano-sol.de with "Open application" in the subject line.
A first conversation
Phone or video call, without a question catalogue. We want to hear what you worked on last and what annoyed you about it.
Meet us in person
You come to Monheim, see the rooms and the people — and ask the questions nobody asks over the phone.

What genuinely helps us read an application
This is not a cover letter contest. Four points we get the most out of.
-
What you worked on last
One concrete example says more than a list of technologies. Something that went wrong is just as welcome.
-
What you would like to do
Network, operations, support, development — or explicitly a bit of everything. Both are answers.
-
How you would get to us
A driving licence and your availability matter, because part of the work happens at client sites.
-
When you can be reached
We phone rather than start a scheduling loop. A time window saves both sides several days.
// Questions about applying
What applicants want to know
01 Do you have open positions?
Advertised roles appear on this page as soon as they exist — nothing is listed here purely to fill space. Independently of that we do read open applications, because the need usually shows up before a role has been written down.
02 Is an open application worth the effort?
Yes. In a company our size work tends to arrive before a job description does. If a suitable application is already on file at that moment, the route is far shorter than through a formal posting.
03 Which profiles suit you?
People who want to understand technology rather than only operate it: system administration, network and cabling work, IT support, software development. Being able to explain what you are doing to a client counts for more than a collection of certificates.
04 Do you take career changers, working students or apprentices?
Write to us. Whether it fits at a given moment depends mostly on who has time to train someone properly — a blanket yes would be dishonest. If it does not fit, you hear that instead of being kept waiting.
05 Where would I be working?
The starting point is our office in Monheim am Rhein. Part of the work happens at client sites across the Rhine-Ruhr region: server rooms, risers, offices, production halls. Anyone hoping to stay at a desk all day would be unhappy here.
06 What happens after I send my application?
You hear back from a person, not from a system. If we take a while, it is because we are actually reading it — not because the message is sitting unopened in a mailbox.
