Plus, you can choose whether you work from home and when to work, naturally in line with your clients’ needs, too. Because we are part of the DHL Group, you also receive support when combining family and career, such as through company-supported day care centers.

Yes. We have two programs. First, you are assigned a “buddy” to help you get settled, a fellow consultant who organizes a broad range of meetings and training on your first days. They are open to any questions, and can even help you find an apartment or things to do in the city.

Second, a member of the management team is your “personal developer” – guiding you throughout your career at DHL Consulting. You can discuss any questions or concerns and, together, you will plan the best steps for your development.

While on a project, your project manager supports your learning experience, whereas your personal developer helps you develop your overall skillset and advance in your career.

Yes. After you’ve successfully completed your trial period with us, you are eligible to apply for a month-long sabbatical. After being with us for three years, you can even take a longer sabbatical of two to six months.

To ensure that we can give every application the attention it deserves, we kindly ask that you apply for only one vacancy at a time.
