Your career at WIRTGEN

The question is not why you should come to us. But where you will stay.

WIRTGEN is much more than a company. We are a team of over 2,000 outstandingly qualified colleagues who live and breathe their passion for technology, innovation, customer-orientation and environmental awareness day after day. What we strive to achieve: sustainable road construction and mineral technologies.

Our engagement in this pays off: we have maintained our position as the global market leader for cold milling machines and Surface Miners for many years. WIRTGEN is also the technology-leader in soil stabilisation, recycling and concrete paving with slipform pavers.

As one of the companies of the WIRTGEN GROUP, WIRTGEN benefits from an international network with its own subsidiaries. For our employees, this means that we can offer them numerous career development options. And that around the globe.

Sounds pretty impressive for a start, doesn’t it? We agree, it does. But let us give you a couple of other good reasons why you should become a member of our team.
