"To get ahead, you must always give your best", says Barbara smiling to herself, as she thinks about her passion for Latin American dance. Since moving to the "LKW WALTER dance floor" after completing her university studies, the World Cup participant in Formation Dancing lives this motto professionally too. "Like dancing, things often get pretty heated here too. When that happens you have to keep in time, keep pace and improvise with a cool head instead of spinning out of control."
Barbara knows what she's talking about. Because she has been responsible for many countries. Greece, Poland and Italy, for example. Which is why she concludes, with a smile on her face: "I am gaining a huge amount of experience. No two days are the same. That's why my work as a Transport Manager is not only interesting, but also very exciting."
"To get ahead, you have to always try to give your best."
Barbara M., Transport Manager with improvisation skills
It seemed almost as though the world was too small for Barbara. Polish roots, raised in Hungary, fluent in 5 languages and a passionate dancer. Where to go with so much power, ambition and engaging curiosity? In March 2017, that became obvious: LKW WALTER
"I gain an incredible amount of experience. No two days are the same."
Barbara's personal recommendation:
Don't be afraid to move to Vienna! - I immediately felt at home in the WALTER GROUP like in a big family. There was even lots of support when it came to finding an apartment.

What career opportunities do I have as an experienced professional?
Generally professional experience or industry knowledge are not necessary for entry into our operational business. Because we educate new employees as part of our "Train the Winner" trainee programme and we cover both theory and practice. However, there are some areas in which we greatly appreciate relevant experience and previous knowledge. For example, in our IT, Legal or Sales departments, where we can offer (young) professionals attractive career opportunities. Our recommendation: Just take a look at our employment opportunities.
Does the WALTER GROUP offer apprenticeships?
The classic apprenticeships such as freight forwarding manager or office clerk are not offered in our company.

Immediately afterwards, you will receive an e-mail. It confirms that we have received your application.
