Wolfsburg is one of the few newly founded cities of the 20th century and is today one of the most dynamic cities in Germany. For the work in the building department, this means the best conditions for the implementation of forward-looking and innovative planning. As the headquarters of a globally active automotive group and as a research location, we are always faced with exciting planning challenges, but also with many design opportunities.

Well-trained planners and an openness to new perspectives are essential for this work. The promotion of students and young professionals is therefore a particular concern for us.
A position in the construction department not only means a responsible and exciting job, but also security and good development opportunities. Flexible and family-friendly working hours are just as much a matter of course for us as the continuous further training and qualification of our employees.
Wolfsburg is green
Wolfsburg is one of the few newly founded cities of the 20th century and thus occupies a special role among major German cities. During the main reconstruction period from the 1950s to the 1970s, based on the ideals of post-war modernism, an urban landscape interspersed with extensive natural and green spaces was created. Here, local recreation in green spaces is part of urban life and a defining heritage. The proportion of green, sports and recreational areas is about 30 % - making Wolfsburg the greenest major city in Lower Saxony.
Wolfsburg is global
Wolfsburg is home to one of the largest international automotive groups and, in addition to production, is primarily a research and development location. This is characteristic for living and working in the city. International exchange and innovative developments take place here, for example in the field of new mobility.
