Internship for students
Through on-the-job training, Röhlig offers students the opportunity to gain a practical understanding of what it means to work in the freight forwarding and logistics business.
A student internship takes from three to six months. We are mainly looking for students who study business administration as well as transport and engineering subjects. Knowledge of the English language is indispensable. The internship could also be the first step into our Management Trainee Programme which we offer to university graduates.

Management Trainee Programme for graduates
Anyone striving for a management position has to familiarise herself/himself with the company’s culture and gain knowledge of the entire business first. By means of its three-year Management Trainee Programme, Röhlig offers its junior managers the perfect opportunity to promote their career.
While working in different Röhlig subsidiaries worldwide as well as in the Röhlig Head Office, you will get to know all facets of modern logistics and be fully incorporated in the daily business of operations, sales and finance. Enhancing your technical knowledge in logistics on the job, you also get the chance to develop your soft skills like leadership or intercultural awareness, as all management trainees take part in our Junior Leadership Programme “Blue Step”.
Please note, that there is no specific start date for the Management Trainee Programme, you can send your application anytime.

What is special about Röhlig’s Management Trainee Programme?
Röhlig’s Management Trainee Programme is distinguished by its international approach. On this three-year programme, you gain first-hand experience of life and work at various locations around the world. In this process, you not only engage intensively with a range of business areas, but also discover the social and business culture of particular countries and can build up your own international network.
How is the Management Trainee Programme organised?
The programme gives you a considerable insight into the operative business in air and sea freight, sales, and the different departments in the company headquarters. You spend six months at the Bremen Head Office, and the remaining two-and-a-half years in two Röhlig subsidiaries. As a rule, you spend twelve months in the operative business and eighteen months in sales, although the exact parameters can vary individually depending on a person’s knowledge, experience and interests.
In addition, all trainees take part in the Blue Step programme which prepares young managers for future executive positions. The Blue Step programme comprises a set of training modules on topics such as leadership, finance, intercultural competences and presentation techniques.
