At TÜV Rheinland, you work on topics that matter. Our work creates safety, trust, and future readiness, for people, companies, and society. Together with colleagues from different fields of expertise, you take on responsibility and help shape solutions with lasting impact.

Our offer is exactly yours — you'd like to apply and get to know the exact process?

From your online application through the interview to a successful start: our application process is defined by openness and transparency. Every application process is as individual as the person behind it, their professional experience, or the position to be filled. That's why we don't have just one single process either. You can find the typical steps in our graphic.

After we receive your application, our recruiters review your documents and coordinate with the relevant department. You can expect initial feedback within seven days.

The first conversation takes place either online or, occasionally, in person at our offices. Usually, we're a group of two to three people, including someone from recruiting as well as a specialist or manager. We take our time and want to learn more about your qualifications and career history — but above all, we want to get to know you as a person. Beyond technical expertise, it's very important to us that you fit with our values and company culture. So just be yourself. In an in-person conversation, you'll get to know your future workplace and parts of the team, have plenty of time for questions, and then decide whether this feels like the right place for you. In some cases, we may schedule a second conversation, combined with a practical task. If it's a good match, we'll send you a contract offer within a few days. From there, it's in your hands.

Throughout this process, our recruiters support you every step of the way and are happy to answer your questions even beforehand.

With your application, our shared journey begins. We're already looking forward to getting to know you.

We want to give you the best possible start, so we develop your personal onboarding plan long before your first day, organize meetings with key team members, and provide you with a dedicated contact for organizational and technical questions. A joint Welcome Day (online) introduces you to our business fields, our company culture, and our organizational structure, and the two-day in-person event "New at TÜV Rheinland" in Cologne gives you an overview of the entire group. Here, you'll also meet newcomers from other business areas and have the chance to explore various labs, such as our photovoltaics lab.

During your probationary period, we'll check in through regularly scheduled conversations. You'll discuss your onboarding progress with your manager and can both give and receive feedback. It's only through an open feedback culture in both directions that we can plan our future and grow together.
