Tips for applicants




A good cover letter should answer the following questions:

  • Why are you applying to HOCHTIEF?
  • What qualifications and experience do you have?
  • What are your professional interests?

A complete résumé (tabular format is preferred) will include your personal data, information about your education and professional training, military or alternative service, university studies, internships, work experience, additional qualifications, and activities outside of work. Please list your professional experience in a bullet-point format. If you’re interested in a job abroad, please submit your résumé in English.

Please send us official references and recommendations from your previous employers that include the period of time in which you worked, descriptions of your responsibilities, and evaluations of your performance. We will also need proof of the diplomas and degrees you list on your résumé (high school, apprenticeships, college). Certificates for continuing education courses are also a plus if the classes you took lasted more than a month and their content was relevant to the position you’re applying for.



Our interview questions may include:

  • What’s important to you in a working environment?
  • What qualifications and special experience do you have?
  • What types of challenges have you already faced during your career?
  • Is there one project you can think of in which you would do something different if you had the chance again? If so, why?
  • Why are you looking to change jobs?
  • What benefits do you hope to achieve by doing so?
