"For those who muck in, the sky is the limit with us."

Alexander S., Senior Management Director and Mentor

Alexander-S

If you are prepared to sort things out in the WALTER GROUP, the sky is the limit. Alexander is a shining example of this. On his journey from HAK graduate (commercial academy) to Head of Operations, he relied on his talent and ambition, as well as on the support of a mentor who both challenged and encouraged him.

As Head of Operations at LKW WALTER, Alexander's position comes between Group Division Manager and Board of Management in LKW WALTER's organisational structure. Such a rise doesn't just happen out of nowhere. "In 2002, I started very conventionally as Transport Manager. The dynamic development of LKW WALTER constantly created new opportunities, which I just had to take advantage of." He did just that with lots of commitment, as well as continuous professional education.

Alexander found his mentor's tips at least as important. Today, the passionate football fan takes on the mentor's role himself. "We get a lot of emerging talent through the door, who quickly prove themselves as top players. I use my experience to give them tips to help them find a position that most closely matches their individual abilities as quickly as possible."

"The motto is to challenge and encourage."

Alexander's personal tip:

If you want to step into international business at LKW WALTER, a background education in economics/commerce is the best prerequisite. For those who match the company profile, muck in and are ready for further education, the sky is the limit.

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.

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.
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.
The classic apprenticeships such as freight forwarding manager or office clerk are not offered in our company.
