Our Road Freight junior professional programme

Our junior professional programme offers you the perfect career entry into the world of freight forwarding. Here you can draw on all the experience and skills you have already gained in this exciting logistics sector. Ideally, you will combine a specialised commercial apprenticeship with further training as a transport specialist or hold a Bachelor’s degree with a focus on Logistics. As a junior professional, you will get to know the locations of Rhenus Freight Logistics throughout Germany during 6-month project assignments and will be extensively prepared for your first entry-level position. Now it’s time to gather impressions, contribute ideas and build a strong network. Always at your side: An experienced mentor and the management. You can look forward to orientation and room to manoeuvre in equal measure.

Diversity that must be experienced awaits you

Rhenus Road Freight logistics will let you take a deep dive into the exciting world of freight forwarding.
Every assignment is different, every project brings new insights – thus, your wealth of experience grows with each passing day.
In operational business, you will develop effective customer concepts, take an analytical look at key figures and derive tailor-made measures.
You can look over the shoulder of the management, take on responsibility and expand your skills in various training courses.

What you bring to the table is sure to convince us

Your basis: Commercial training in the field of forwarding and logistics services, combined with initial professional experience in the forwarding environment.
In addition, you have completed further training as a transport specialist or hold a Bachelor’s degree (with a focus on Logistics).
You get to the bottom of things analytically, think in terms of processes and have a desire for responsibility.
Communication skills and assertiveness are just as natural for you as the willingness to travel on business.

We offer nothing less than unique opportunities

You start with a thorough onboarding – we welcome you and familiarise you with our logistics world.
Personal mentoring guarantees that your questions are always heard and a helping hand is quickly provided.
Your personality can grow beyond itself with us – training sessions, team-building events and honest development discussions will help.
And the best is yet to come: Once you have completed your probationary period, you will be offered permanent employment.

MY MOST EXCITING PROJECT SO FAR WAS THE INTEGRATION OF A NEW COMPANY INCLUDING INDEPENDENT PROCESS OPTIMISATIONS. MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE COMPANY’S OWN SUPPLY CHAIN HAS IMPROVED ENORMOUSLY AS A RESULT.

This could be your programme

After the programme is before the new career goal

Upon successful completion of the programme, all paths and doors in freight forwarding logistics will be open to you as a junior professional: From the “Project Management” development path to the “Leadership” development path – entirely according to your individual strengths and personal wishes.

In an operational management position – e.g. as Head of Customer Service – you will steer and develop your team with entrepreneurial vision. You will implement and optimise internal team processes and also coordinate cross-departmental workflows with precision. With a trained eye for detail, you will assess key quality indicators and confidently initiate all necessary measures. In this role, you will use statistics, service evaluations, reporting and forecasts to ensure the long-term and sustainable satisfaction of our customers.

If your career path takes you in the direction of project management, one of your tasks will be to put our logistics processes to the test. You will skilfully identify optimisation potential and provide conclusive recommendations for action. In order to continuously improve our supply chain, you will plan, manage and implement numerous (sub-)projects. As the technical contact person, you will be responsible for all project phases, monitor the achievement of milestones and deliver complete status reports. In doing so, you routinely use the tools and methods from the exciting field of logistics project management that are optimally suited to the respective project.

Do you like to plan far ahead and get involved at the highest level? Then you are in the right place in the area of strategic assistance. You will support the management in operational business as well as in strategic issues, project-related or in relation to our general development. Among other things, this involves the development and introduction of new products or reaching our target groups. Your agenda will therefore include strategic decision-making as well as clearly structured analyses and presentations.
