About the job

We are Deutsche Bahn. Millions of passengers travel with us every day and we transport enormous quantities of goods – throughout Germany and neighbouring Europe. Too often, we also disappoint. That is why we are working intensively on a better railway. For this, we need power and you! We are one of the most diverse employers in Germany. Every year, we look for around 500 dual students in 25 different degree programmes who want to make the railway a little better with us day by day. Join us: We offer you attractive benefits, a fixed contact person, and a great team by your side. And after successful training, you have excellent chances of being taken on!

You want to combine theory and practice from the start – and actively contribute to the expansion of infrastructure in Germany at the same time – then the dual study programme in civil engineering with integrated vocational training with us is just right for you, because with your know-how you ensure that Germany stays mobile!

From 30 August 2027, we are looking for you for the 4.5-year dual study programme leading to a Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering with integrated vocational training as an industrial electrician (m/f/d) at DB Bahnbau Gruppe GmbH in Freiburg.

During lecture-free periods, you will apply your knowledge in practice and gain valuable experience in your company. In the 3rd year, you will take the theoretical and practical final examination of your training as an industrial electrician. After 4.5 years, you will complete your studies with your bachelor thesis.
