"I can totally identify with the product."

Katharina H., Customer service and offensive player

"Growing up bilingually is a privilege that one should use." Katharina recognises her privileged position and has been making the most of it in Customer Service at CONTAINEX since 2011. It all started with a speculative application.

Polish and German as native languages are an ideal basis for professional success in an international environment. Provided you are being well prepared for future tasks. With her commercial academy school leavers certificate in her pocket, the enthusiastic amateur footballer felt ready for a job in the WALTER GROUP. So she went on the offensive with a speculative application. In the end, she used a forward pass by the WALTER GROUP Recruiting team and confidently scored a job at CONTAINEX.

Katharina recalls: "Honestly, I knew nothing about containers. But the trainee program changed all that. It's unbelievable how versatile and varied containers can be. Be it construction containers, nursery schools or emergency shelters in the event of disasters, the product is extremely diverse!"

"Good language skills or an interest in languages are a great prerequisite for the WALTER GROUP."

Kathatina's personal recommendation:

I recommend anyone with good language skills to send a speculative application to the WALTER GROUP. The special know-how for each job is learned in the course of the trainee programme and deepened as part of the numerous advanced training courses.

What career opportunities do I have as a secondary school graduate or university / university of applied sciences graduate?

Very good ones! In the WALTER GROUP you have every opportunity to start your career. If you come from an educational institute with an economic, linguistic or even technical focus, you can immediately and directly join our business. You can join without industry knowledge in the context of an intensive trainee programme which we call "Train the Winner".

Accompanied by your own coach, you will improve your professional and social skills and continuously grow into your future roles. Because the WALTER GROUP is constantly and sustainably growing, new career opportunities always arise.

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.
