But first, the native Tyrolean fulfilled his civic duty and did his military service. "After that, switching to LKW WALTER was a bit of a culture shock. Because of course there are hierarchies at LKW WALTER but my bosses are more like colleagues than supervisors. I find this extra motivating."
In fact, Jonas already has an idea in which direction he wants his career to go. "LKW WALTER is constantly growing, which is why new opportunities always arise.I want to forward my career in the next few years and perhaps I'll make the leap to Division Manager." Privately too the ambitious athlete will continue to strive for the top - up on Tyrol's mountains with skis or a crampon.*
"The combination of international career and leisure activities here is simply unique."
Jonas K., Division Manager on the way up
"Where can I pursue an international career while keeping up my hobbies?", wondered the passionate skier, climber and tennis player, Jonas, after he graduated from Wörgl commercial academy. He soon found the obvious answer: right on his doorstep in the WALTER GROUP.
"My bosses are more like colleagues than supervisors."
*Jonas has successfully made the leap upwards. He is now a division manager. Congratulations Jonas!
Jonas personal recommendation:
I think that the combination of international career and leisure activities here is simply unique. If you want to work hard and then replenish your energy levels in nature, the WALTER GROUP in Kufstein is the right place for you.
