The quality of our employees is the most important success factor for our business.We need people with excellent specialist expertise and outstanding personal competencies. The development of Bilfinger Berger into a Multi Service Group has led to the expansion of our activities in all business segments. The requirements placed on our employees have therefore also grown.
Systematic personnel development
Personnel development: for us that means recruiting qualified employees, effectively encouraging their personal strengths, and retaining high performers at the Group over the long term.
Recruitment
We identify high-potential students at selected universities at an early stage.We want graduates with above-average potential to come directly to Bilfinger Berger after completing their studies. The goal of recruiting at least half of our graduates through early identification at the universities was surpassed in the year 2007. Our activities at universities in the field of career marketing target candidates from technical degree courses: not only civil engineers but also mechanical engineers, process engineers, building services engineers and industrial engineers, as well as graduates in business administration.
Bilfinger Berger is also involved in university education. Executives from the Group give lectures and hold workshops, we are partners for field trips, we take on interns and dissertation students and we work with renowned institutions to support students with their doctoral theses. The ‘Bilfinger Berger Prizes’ that we award to students of several universities also consider the criterion of practical implementation. This means that the prize-winners experience the demands placed in working life already during their studies, and can plan their ongoing studies accordingly.
