What is it like to be part of the #Dussmannschaft team?

Let's ask our employees from the Security services team first-hand:

It never gets boring

I've been working as an operations manager in the security service team since 2023 and really appreciate the varied and exciting work. It never gets boring. Our operations management team is made up of three people who get along really well. We always support each other if we have questions or during challenging situations and work as a team to find the best solutions together. What I particularly like about my work is the close contact with our customers and our employees – I have to deal with a wide variety of personalities and their individual needs every day.

Career advancement made easy

Since joining the company in 2017, I have not only successfully completed my training at Dussmann, but was also quickly given the opportunity to move up to a managerial position as a site manager. I really enjoy this responsibility and it gives me the chance to actively contribute to the growth and success of Dussmann. We have great team spirit and like doing things together after work.

Varied and unique for two decades

I love the variety of the security service! No other profession covers such a broad spectrum of social services. Whether first aid, fire protection, elevator rescues, or everyone's rights. In my almost 20 years at Dussmann, I have met many great colleagues who are all unique. That's what makes us special – here, everyone can be themselves.

Top 3 frequently asked questions

There are a wide range of qualification options in the security industry, spanning from education, training, and passing the statutory exam for quick entry into the sector to qualifications for lateral entrants and degrees in the field of security management. Career-changers can also earn qualifications for the two "certified security guard" and "service technician for protection and security" dual training occupations as part of a further training program sponsored by the federal employment agency at certified training providers in the security industry.

If you don’t have any training in the security industry or haven’t passed the statutory exam yet, we still welcome your application. We will make sure that you have the necessary training and qualifications before you start your employment.   

The variety. The security industry offers a wide range of demanding jobs that require not only physical strength and mental fitness, but also character and technical, organizational and communication skills. There is a broad variety of highly interesting fields of work in the sector: plant security services, mobile driving, monitoring and control jobs, working in the emergency call and service control center team, security tasks in public traffic areas and public transport, visitor reception, and technical services.

Since many jobs need to be done 24/7, the working hours in security services are different from those of a regular office job. A high degree of flexibility is also required. At Dussmann, however, you will be involved in the scheduling and can set your own working hours for your own optimal work-life balance. 

Depending on the level of qualification and personal skills, security staff can take on more responsibility at Dussmann after a relatively short time. Realistic career levels are team leader, shift leader, and site manager. You can also quickly take on more responsibility in specialized areas such as the emergency call and service control center or the alarm service. We also offer you the opportunity to develop your skills at our training center, the Dussmann Campus, which offers a wide range of specialist training courses.
