Are you interested in how goods move around the world, how international supply chains work and how many people and processes interact along the way? Then this apprenticeship is an exciting opportunity for you.

At HELM, you will organize the worldwide shipment of our products, from our suppliers’ production sites to customers or storage locations. You will learn how transports are planned and how goods are stored, picked and forwarded.

You will work with different modes of transport such as sea freight, trucks or air freight and gain a good understanding of how reliable and transparent supply chains are created. Customs, foreign trade and international communication will also be part of your daily training. Some of your communication will take place in English.

The practical part of your apprenticeship at HELM is complemented by classes at the Berufsschule für Spedition, Logistik & Verkehr in Hamburg.

• You plan and coordinate international transports and learn which steps are needed to make them work.
• You work together with service providers, customers and international business partners.
• You gain insights into storage, handling, picking and onward transportation.
• You learn the basics of customs, foreign trade and VAT in international commerce.

• A secondary school certificate, advanced technical college entrance qualification or comparable school qualification
• Good German and English skills
• Interest in business topics and international processes
• Enjoyment in organizing, keeping an overview and finding solutions together
• Curiosity, openness and enthusiasm for working in a team

You do not meet every point 100%? No problem. What matters most to us is that you are motivated, ask questions and are eager to keep developing.

What you can look forward to

• Practical training in an international company
• A supportive team that guides you and gives you space to learn
• Varied tasks and insights into different business areas
