When you sign your contract you take your first step into one of the world’s biggest enterprises. We’re there to support you – right from the start.
For this we select a member of your team to act as your guide and help you if you have questions or personal matters to discuss. We provide you with the materials you need for work, hold introductions to get to know your colleagues and their projects so that you can network within the group.
As part of your onboarding program you will join other new colleagues for an introduction to life in an international group. You will also take part in a guided tour of the site.

Simon Koza – Supply Chain Management, Processes & Integration
Simon Koza started at thyssenkrupp as a student on an integrated study program. That was eight years ago. It all began in 2011 when the current Supply Chain Project Manager decided to study Logistics Management at the European University of Applied Sciences EU/FH in Neuss. After three years he had his Bachelor’s degree in his pocket. Right from the start Simon Koza was able to hit the ground running because during his studies he spent half his time in the central logistics department at thyssenkrupp, learning operating procedures and combining his theoretical knowledge with practical experience.
