Behind the scenes of a city, much more happens than you see from the outside, and you can actively shape this dynamism. With the training as an administrative specialist in the middle non-technical administrative service, you become the foundation of our team. You rotate through the most diverse departments of our versatile city administration and experience first-hand how administration works. In doing so, you make well-founded decisions based on federal, state and municipal law and are simultaneously the direct point of contact for the citizens of our city, advising and supporting them competently. In addition to classic administrative processes, you also gain valuable insights into commercial tasks.
