Sebastian's biography reads like a well-written manual for personal success. First, he plays football at a club successfully for 14 years, then he graduates, after that he makes the right career choice and never stops being curious and educating himself.
The latter the passionate globetrotter does within the company: "There's no better company than LKW WALTER if you want to learn about transport management from the ground up." And externally at the university: "With LKW WALTER's consent, I study European Economics and Business Management alongside my 40-hour job." With these studies, he sees himself fully on course in the WALTER GROUP. "Here, there are so many opportunities for development. I'm curious to see how my journey continues."*
“There's no better company than LKW WALTER if you want to learn about transport management from the ground up.”
Sebastian B., Team Leader of Digital Product Management with a strong willingness to learn
As a trained industrial engineer, Sebastian was a sought-after man after graduating from HTL Hollabrunn. Ultimately, it came down to a decision between LKW WALTER or another high-flying international company. The reason things turned out as they did has a lot to do with Sebastian's thirst for knowledge.
"LKW WALTER offers me every opportunity to develop further and in line with my interests."
*Note: Sebastian's journey in the WALTER GROUP has continued. He is now Digital Product Manager in the WALTER GROUP and has successfully completed his studies. Congratulations!
Sebastian's personal recommendation:
I started straight after school as a trainee and learned the job "from scratch". Today, I'm a professional and I look back on an extremely steep learning curve. My tip is: Always be ready to learn. In the WALTER GROUP you have plenty of opportunities to do so.

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.
What does the application process involve?
In our employment opportunities each advert has a link that takes you to the online application form. Please fill it out and send it together with your application documents. Immediately afterwards, you will receive an e-mail. It confirms that we have received your application. Then it takes a maximum of 14 days for you to recieve a message from us about the result of your application. If it is positive, the next steps are:
