FAQ

• What does Altran expect from an applicant?

A successfully completed technical college or university degree is conditional for employment with us as Consultant. Practical experience which has been gained during studies is a big plus. Fluent German and English are a must. Just as important for us are the soft skills of our consultants such as learning and communication skills, flexibility and team spirit. We are looking for staff members who bring with them technological curiosity and openness for new topics, who think in interdisciplinary terms and know how to apply their knowledge innovatively.

• How much should I be willing to travel as a Consultant?

We cannot guarantee that your project will be located in your "home town". You must therefore be willing to do a certain amount of travelling. The work location for applicants from Germany is the German area. It is, however, possible to name a local preference.

Our projects are based on the medium to long term. On average the projects last between 6 and 18 months.

• What are the chances of further training in your company?

As a Consultant our staff go through up to five career stages, depending on their working experience. Parallel to this you can take on an internal position and adopt various functions, e.g. Team Manager, Trainer or Mentor. As Business Manager you can, for instance, rise to Industry Director, with coaching responsibility for a Junior Business Manager. Furthermore, as Business Manager you may be promoted to Key Account Manager or Global Account Manager. Our staff are encouraged via the extensive offers of further training at the Altran Academy. Technical, method and soft skills training programmes are offered here.

• What are you specially interested in during discussions with graduates?

In interviews the graduates should let their interviewer know their motivation for wanting to acquire the position they are trying to get. Show your skills and your interests in starting a career. As applicant, make it clear why we should decide on you and remain credible in this.

• Do you also employ the services of freelance personnel?

In filling a position we aim for a permanent staff member. But we also consider applications from freelance persons, since the occasional possibility of cooperation does arise.
