Angeliga Kambeck (CHRO)Growth Through Diversity
To continue successfully pursuing our growth strategy and our responsibility for a secure future, we need innovative strength. Innovative thinking and action are only possible by considering diverse perspectives – which is why diversity is both our standard and our reality.
Jan Krabbenhöft (Standortleiter)At the Wismar shipyard
“We not only offer the chance to work on unique shipbuilding projects but also long-term career prospects.”
Johanna“Anything but monotonous”
“During my training at TKMS, I dive into different areas, from accounting to HR. That provides variety and helps me discover my strengths.”
Janina“My contribution holds the submarine together”
During her apprenticeship as a construction mechanic at TKMS, Janina learns how to create welds so precise that they will later withstand the high pressure underwater.
Richard"Play to Your Strengths!"
As a former Navy serviceman, Richard feels that at TKMS, he meets people who speak his language: “Here, you’re not someone who needs explaining - you’re a real asset!”
Coding Mafia"We’re basically the Coding Mafia"
Jens and Tobias never lack fun at work. As software developers at TKMS ATLAS ELEKTRONIK, their job is to build simulations that train the use of our products. A very complex task. They recommend to other career starters: “Which programming language you know doesn’t matter. Work on your own projects. That’s where you learn the most.”
Lea“Diversity instead of a male-dominated industry”
For Lea, career should not be a matter of gender. She started as a construction mechanic in a male-dominated industry. At TKMS, she completed her dual studies and now drives projects forward as an engineer. She repeatedly notices: diverse teams reach solutions faster.
Angelina"Health is our most important resource."
As a health manager, Angelina ensures working conditions where people enjoy working and are safe in the long term. “For people who achieve great things every day.”
Malte“People make the difference”
For Malte, leadership means recognizing and promoting the individual strengths of his employees. At TKMS ATLAS ELEKTRONIK, he leads sonar production in Bremen. For him, it’s not just about the product but also the journey - driven by innovative ideas, team spirit, and a clear vision for the future.
Thilo“I’m drawn to the challenge”
Thilo shows how you can grow beyond yourself at TKMS. At 18, he started his apprenticeship at the shipyard and then completed two industrial master craftsman qualifications in metal and mechatronics. Soon after, he pursued a part-time degree in mechanical engineering and took the next career step as a plant engineer. His recipe for success? Cleverly combining practical work and studies—such as through a thesis project at TKMS.
Marie“Diversity creates innovation"
For Marie, defence is crucial for freedom and democracy – values women have long fought for. Diverse participation, especially by women, is essential for innovation and our security.
