Female engineers at ThyssenKrupp

Women and engineering – responsibility and diversity

A male domain? As if! Working life at ThyssenKrupp would be unthinkable without women engineers. Over 300 of them hold positions of responsibility in a wide range of areas – and the trend is growing. This means that women are in good company at ThyssenKrupp – whether they join us straight from college or with several years work experience.
And with the shortage of engineers in Germany, ThyssenKrupp is constantly on the look-out for highly skilled and committed (young) engineers both male and female and makes every effort to ensure they stay with the company long term. We know that it's their innovative ideas that will keep us ahead of the competition in the future. That's why we offer attractive entry and development programs.

You can see how you can start your career at ThyssenKrupp if you take a look at some of our female engineers. They provide insights into their daily work life and highlight the countless opportunities within our company. What’s more, they talk about their challenges and don’t hesitate to give advice on how to take your first steps into your professional life.
