The National Getting Started Program

The transition from university to working life is large. That is where our Getting Started Program helps you to become accustomed and be prepared for your future tasks. The duration of the program usually lasts 18-24 months.

A mentor will be there for you from day one, who more often than not is a skilled technical or management employee, with extensive experience. Regardless of whether you are interested in a trainee position or direct entry you can take part in our Getting Started Program.

A substantial part of the program is the job-related workshops in which the idea of networking and information about the company's current development are prioritised. Along with technical lectures and discussions you can also expect excursions as well as interesting topics which will assist your future work life.

What are the Advantages of the Getting Started Program?

  • You can further develop your strengths.
  • You can learn to better understand relationships.
  • You gain an extensive insight into HOCHTIEF.
  • You have the chance to establish valuable contacts.

You probably already know in which sector you want to work. If you are looking for journalistic training or have just passed the first state law exam, then the next step is an internship. Whatever you are looking for, HOCHTIEF could be the place for you.

Direct Entry

If you have you successfully completed a degree or an internship and know exactly where your interests lie, then direct entry is best suited to you. This is where you can quickly take on responsibility once you have completed your induction period.

As part of our regular introductory events you will, of course, gain an insight into the structure, procedures and operations at HOCHTIEF. In line with our Getting Started Program you will, in addition, have assistance from a mentor during your induction period.

Trainee Program

The trainee program is ideal for those who are still not sure of which sector they see themselves working in later despite theoretical knowledge and practical experience. You are able to get your bearings by spending time in different departments. The average duration of our trainee program is 18-24 months. As a trainee you are also able to participate in our Getting Started Program.

Junior Lawyer

"Companies are civil associations of persons, who...." If this sentence beginning is not new to you and you have an interest in construction and real estate law then apply for an internship as a junior lawyer in our Legal Department. With an above average to average grade in your final state law exam you can expand your knowledge, which you gained during your studies, in a legal or elective internship position. This enables you to collaborate on typical company legal department issues or research a specific legal question.
