Work with us

Since its early years, Planetek Italia has aimed at continuous improvement of its products and services and of its organization's management, following the total quality system and aiming at the complete satisfaction of its customers.
Planetek Italia has adopted a "company system" instead of a generic "quality system" in order to manage each activity in accordance with detailed internal rules and convert these rules into informatics procedures.
According to Planetek Italia, Quality is a philosophy, a way to operate which includes all the activities of the company and becomes a clear definition of customer requirements, that is, a "project" approach to the orders, for a subdivision of the activities into "work packages" defining responsible, output, input, work times and verifications. Such a methodological way of work allows the planning of activities and the respect of times and specifications of the systems realized.
The organization of the company system in compliance with the ISO rules has led Planetek Italia to pass the inspection on January 14th, 2000, and to receive the ISO 9001 certification for "Design, realization and servicing of geographical information system (G.I.S.), cartographical and Earth Observation data processing (E.O.). Design and delivery of training services regarding geographical information system and Earth Observation.".
On March 23rd, 2001, Planetek Italia also passed the inspection for the new ISO 9001:Vision 2000 certification with the maximum marks. This certification allowed Planetek Italia to become one of the first companies in Italy and the very first in Southern Italy to reach this goal.
Planetek's management system is also certified as compliant with the guidelines for applying ISO 9001 to the provision of remote sensing services as defined by the European Association of Remote Sensing Companies (EARSC).

Planetek Italia adopts an Environment Management System in conformity with ISO 14001:2015 rules and the directive CE n.1221/2009 (EMAS III). Planetek Italia is truly concerned with considering the environment as a part of its production and business and operates with respect to Italian and European environmental laws and directives.

We usually choose people and consider their skills. Our office has opening and closing times, but we are flexible because we are focused on goals.

We are informal, reliable and open: we enjoy ourselves doing always new activities, sharing efforts and celebrating the goals reached.

Here you will find huge and excellent coffee, table soccer to have a break during tiring days, a very nice seafront meters from our headquarters to stroll about during your lunch break, huge calories to celebrate anniversaries, a bookcase with shared books, fantasy football, soccer and volleyball matches with colleagues, and many more activities.

If you think that a team of people like us is so like what you are, then with us, you will be free to think, dream and work.

We have a nice, comfortable, bright office with little noise just a few steps from the sea, and walks along the seafront are part of a daily ritual during the working day. Those who wish can play sports at a sports centre that has an agreement with us, also thanks to flexible working hours. Table soccer matches punctuate the working day. Five-a-side football and volleyball are evening social moments open to everyone. We have appointed a CPO, Chief Party Officer, who, with everyone's input, organizes fun and recreational activities every month. Tickets and season tickets are made available for employees to attend theatre performances free of charge.

Preventing people's 'obsolescence' is a primary goal for us, and therefore, we promote further education courses and participation in conferences. We stimulate participation in degree courses, PhD and master’s degrees. We periodically organize corporate seminars (Design Lab Meeting, Aperitek) that are also open to outsiders on topics proposed by the employees on technological, social and environmental issues. We host internships and apprenticeships through agreements with local universities and participate in school-work integration projects. We support industrial academic doctorates.

We guarantee equal opportunities for all individuals working in the company and do not tolerate any form of discrimination based on race, social class or national origin, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation, family responsibilities, marital status, trade union membership, political opinions, age, or any other condition that could lead to discrimination.

"Coexistence of diversity" is one of our company's core values.

We believe that mutual respect and the enhancement of diversity are crucial resources for our success.
We promote a work environment where cultural, social, ethnic, religious, and other differences are embraced with openness and consideration. In this context, every individual has the opportunity to express their potential and contribute to achieving the company's goals, thereby creating a stronger and more innovative community.

We are a company certified for Gender Equality.

The UNI/PdR 125:2022 certification is a voluntary certification that requires the adoption of specific indicators, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), in relation to 6 evaluation areas for the different variables that define an inclusive organization respectful of gender equality. In 2024, we achieved the first certification, scoring 81 100.

Since 2016, Planetek Italia has been listed among the 100 best Italian companies according to the Welfare Index PMI report, which certifies companies with welfare systems well above the industry average.

At Industria Felix 2023, it was awarded as the best innovative SME for management performance and financial reliability inspired by ESG principles, entering the Golden Register of the most competitive and reliable companies in Italy and being awarded the High Honor of Financial Statements.

We promote the cultural growth of the region by supporting Teatri di Bari's activities economically and managerially.

The company's computers are all energy-efficient, and we use cloud-based servers that guarantee a high level of energy efficiency.

We have made investments to improve the energy efficiency of our workplace by progressively adopting LED lighting, improving the thermal insulation of the offices, and air conditioning of the rooms and the server room. We also carry out separate collections of glass, plastic, paper, and organic waste.

We are committed to reducing the use of plastic by exclusively adopting compostable products

We invest more than 5% of our turnover in research activities. We cooperate with local, national, and international research institutes and universities for training placements, dissertations, Ph. D.s, and scholarships.

We share our know-how and expertise through our learning platform (https://eolearning.planetek.it) and the organization of free educational internships, conferences, workshops, and seminars.

We have chosen an electricity supplier that guarantees, through the Guarantee of Origin issued by the GSE, to purchase only green energy, produced exclusively from renewable sources, without the use of fossil fuels and without greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. We work constantly to reduce energy consumption for the running of the headquarters, for our travel and for the operation of the computers and servers we use for our activities.
