THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY: A CHALLENGING FIELD OF ACTIVITY IN TRANSITION
The German automotive industry is undergoing a process of upheaval as a result of the mobility revolution, which is profoundly changing products, technologies and services. Current surveys show that the automotive industry continues to be extremely popular as an employer, especially among trainees, university graduates and young professionals. Newcomers and experienced professionals will find attractive development, promotion and earning opportunities in a wide range of fields. In the following, we offer you a brief overview of the current situation in the sector and its prospects. We also explain how TINTSCHL can support you in your entry and transition into the automotive industry.
Situation and prospects
Car manufacturers and their suppliers are focusing on electromobility and alternative, climate-neutral drive systems on one hand, and on digitalized mobility, automated driving and intelligent mobility solutions on the other. Nevertheless, traditional car sales remain a mainstay of the automotive industry. In the past two years, millions of cars have generated sales of several hundred billion euros in Germany. Manufacturers and suppliers currently employ more than 800,000 people - and the trend is rising.
What challenges the industry
Supplier companies in particular often find it difficult to recruit qualified employees. This is probably mainly due to the fact that new entrants and career changers initially look for exciting jobs directly with the vehicle manufacturers. Many people do not realize that suppliers offer particularly interesting fields of work, as they are often the ones who develop innovative products and services.
On the other hand, suppliers and manufacturers are equally challenged to change and become more flexible due to the new technologies. Many new jobs are being created; this requires employees to have increasingly specialized knowledge and the corresponding qualifications. This is all the more important as the ongoing transition to electromobility will result in the loss of numerous jobs, as the production of an electric car, for example, requires far fewer staff than that of a classic combustion engine.
Automotive industry jobs - fields of activity and technical professions
The typical fields of activity in a company in the automotive industry include development, design, production and repair in the motor vehicle sector. Many specialists are involved in the continuous improvement of vehicle safety, the sustainability and environmental friendliness of vehicles as well as the development of digital driving systems and automated vehicles. Professionals in technical sales or engineering service providers are also in demand.
