The special fascination of the BMW Group not only lies in its products and technology but also in the company’s history, written by inventors, pioneers, and brilliant designers. Today, the BMW Group, with its 31 production and assembly facilities in 15 countries as well as a global sales network, is the world’s leading manufacturer of premium automobiles and motorcycles, and provider of premium financial and mobility services.
The BMW Group sets trends in production technology and sustainability as an innovation leader with an intelligent material mix, a technological shift towards digitalization, and resource-efficient production. At the same time, flexibility and continuous optimization of value chains ensure competitiveness.
With our BMW, MINI, Rolls-Royce, and BMW Motorrad brands, we are the world's leading premium manufacturer of automobiles and motorbikes, as well as a provider of premium financial and mobility services.
Our team consists of around 120,000 creative minds from the most diverse nations, who all have one thing in common: passion and the drive to shape the individual and sustainable mobility of the future. Passion for future technologies and enthusiasm for innovative ideas. This passion, but above all the diversity of our teams, has formed the basis of our success for more than 100 years and makes us a very special employer.
Whether you are a school leaver or professional, student or graduate: we are looking for people with a passion for reinventing the mobility of the future with us. In whichever area your heart lies, if you are fascinated by the prospect of transforming the automotive industry, you can share your passion with us.
Every single member of our team works incredibly hard, which is greatly appreciated. Our comprehensive benefits package is a way of giving back.
With 30 days’ holiday, we always have enough time to pursue our wanderlust. Whether we feel like visiting countries abroad or just exploring our homeland, there’s no reason to rush.
From our balcony or the mountains to exotic beaches, with that amount of free time, we can explore, relax, recharge our batteries and simply enjoy life wherever we are.
We want to keep our talents in the best of health. Our own health insurance, the BMW BKK, offers excellent coverage and exceptional benefits (e.g. osteopathy, professional dental hygiene).
We also have our own company healthcare service, which includes preventative measures (e. g. breast cancer screening, bowel cancer prevention campaigns), stress management, nutritional advice, and health training, such as a cardiac sports group.
Our medical officers always have time for us: whenever we need medical advice, we can just drop in. We also provide medical screening, vaccinations as well as first-aid kits before business trips abroad, and a lot more.
As performance is highly valued at the BMW Group, we offer our talents performance-related pay that far exceeds legal and collectively agreed requirements.
And holiday pay makes every trip even more enjoyable, but that’s not all by far. There are also special allowances (a Christmas bonus above the general pay scale) and the opportunity for our talents to participate in the company's success through profit-sharing, which – provided targets have been met, of course – is paid out once a year.
Discovering that unique go-kart feeling – or simply enjoying sheer driving pleasure: all our colleagues have the opportunity to drive their very own BMW or MINI on particularly attractive terms.
This way, for many talents enjoying work already starts on the way to the office. With our vehicle configurator, we can create our dream car according to our own wishes and then buy it at an attractive discount – it’s also possible to finance or alternatively lease it. But that’s not all, as we can also benefit from special conditions on a wide range of used cars.
Every talent wants to develop both personally and professionally. We actively support the desire to grow in every aspect. For instance, we help our talents to qualify for roles at a higher level or for international assignments.
We experience mentoring guidance from superiors, who love to discuss our career objectives with us. From personal development and intercultural programs to management qualifications – our exciting training opportunities help us to keep pushing forward. Moreover, we value the independent structuring of individual career development.
Our talents can enjoy meals in subsidized canteens and coffee bars. As tastes are different, we make sure that every colleague has the choice of a variety of meals. There’s no reason for stomachs to rumble, regardless of whether someone is vegan or a fan of Italian or Bavarian food. From green = “healthy” to orange = “best two or three times a week” to red = “enjoy in moderation”, our traffic light system rating makes it particularly easy to consciously choose your meal.
For a short break or a chat with colleagues, we´ve got our coffee bars with excellent baristas and a wealth of snacks such as fruit, sweets, or something savoury.
Working for us is literally a long-term investment as we support the capital formation and want our talents to participate in the company and its success. Therefore, each of us has the opportunity to acquire BMW Group preferred stock at a discount and receive dividends.
Furthermore, we all know that shopping is even more fun when we receive discounts. We benefit from cooperation with external companies and platforms and can purchase a wide variety of products – from furniture to jewelry and clothing.
There are also preferential conditions for using services in one of our shops or the BMW Group Classic, the BMW Museum, and the BMW Welt.
Family matters – and we understand that the youngest and oldest family members often need us the most. That’s why we help our talents in Germany to find suitable childcare such as crèches, nurseries, nannies, or au pairs. We also offer several day-care places through parent initiatives, local facilities we work with, and spots in our own BMW Group day-care facility in Munich.
It’s important to us to also empower talents who have relatives in need of care: We’re happy to offer counseling and assistance any time. We accompany those in need of help and advise them about the available range of services and various options – all tailored to the individual’s circumstances.
We understand the importance of a healthy and fit workforce for a company’s long-term success. That’s why we offer a range of sports and leisure activities that provide the necessary work-life- balance. We not only organize sporting events throughout the year but also offer fitness clubs at many locations. We can enjoy fitness, spa treatments, rehabilitation, and a varied program of classes from back exercises and spin to yoga in a relaxed atmosphere. There are also many sports communities that have been founded independently by some colleagues: join one of them and meet other sports enthusiasts for a run or workout in the park.
Healthy body, healthy mind: to strike the perfect balance, we also actively support cultural activities. Thus, we can enjoy our offers such as the chamber orchestra and choirs or visit many BMW Group sponsored events with our families at a reduced rate or even free of charge.
Every generation is aware of the importance of saving for retirement – and the BMW Group takes a long-term view of caring for all our colleagues. We ensure they can look forward to financial security in retirement. Thus, we offer all our talents an attractive occupational pension, funded by the company.
Moreover, our colleagues have the option of additional capital formation through preference shares and PVK (“Persoenliches Vorsorge Kapital”, personal pension fund), which is only available to BMW Group employees and allows us to build up a personal pension fund with added tax advantages.
Our parcel collection booths are just one of many services that make everyday life significantly easier. And if we’re tired of facing that pile of dirty clothing when we come home from work, our laundry service can help us out.
All our colleagues who aren’t keen on house hunting can take advantage of our company-owned flats. And when they’re planning their next holiday, our travel agencies will gladly help them to find their dream destination
