Hello, 

the amount of travel at tkMC depends on the location of the project, as well as the preferences of the client and the team. Some projects require weekly travel to the client site for two to three days, while others organize in-person collaboration days at our headquarters in Essen. This is very flexible and changes also from week to week depending on the meetings and project phase. 

Therefore, it is difficult to make a general statement, but travel at tkMC is primarily within Germany. However, there are also some international projects where team members spend several weeks on-site.

At Inverto, the amount of travel depends on your role, project, and client needs. As a consultant, you can expect to travel regularly, as we work closely with clients on-site to develop and implement procurement and supply chain strategies. However, travel frequency varies—some projects require weekly visits, while others involve more remote collaboration. We also value flexibility and work-life balance, so virtual meetings and hybrid working models are common when on-site presence isn't essential. Ultimately, travel is an exciting part of the job, offering the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, build strong client relationships, and work in different industries and locations.

Hello! :)

At DHL Consulting, travel is (unsurprisingly) depending on the project - but also on your personal preference. By stating how much / little you would prefer to travel, you are able to shape your project staffing and increase / decrease the likelihood by which you will be staffed on a travel / non-travel project. Travel destinations depend on your office location (Bonn, Singapore & Plantation) - for sustainability and convenience reasons, we keep the travel within the region (e.g. Europe). 

We still value having face-time with our customers and ensure we meet them regularly and as needed also in person. As the main client for us is the DHL Group, this means you are usually located very lose to them (e.g. for the Bonn Office, walking distance to you clients offices is usually less than 10 minutes). In my opinion, this is one of the big advantages that we have at DHL Consulting. We are able to spontaneously meet our clients and also see them e.g. during lunch breaks, making it even easier to create long-lasting relationships to them that outlast our project time with them.

Interview with Gina Dahmann, Senior Consultant at DHL Consulting
 What skills do you need to be a Senior Consultant?You need good analytical skills so you can get to grips with a problem quickly and hone in on the solution. And you need the ability to explain ideas to the client in an easy and understandable way, so good communication is essential, too. How does DHL Consulting empower its women?By giving us the feeling that we are all valued — not because we’re women, but because we’re doing a good job. I also like its transparency around equal salary, and I’ve never had the feeling that male colleagues are more highly regarded or have better career opportunities than female colleagues. Plus I think it’s great that our CEO, Sabine Mueller, is an excellent role model and an example of female empowerment. The fact that we have a female leader makes me proud to be part of the DHLC team. What's the best thing about working at DHLC?I really like being surrounded by inspirational people. There’s a really cool crowd here and I’ve been learning a lot from them. DHLC also makes a big effort to be truly international with team members from across the world. That’s what makes us really unique as an organization. Do clients expect to see diversity in the DHLC teams?I think clients expect us to always be open-minded and to constantly generate great new problem-solving ideas. The best way to do that is by having a diverse crowd who all have different opinions. There’s no point in everyone thinking the same because it’s not the way to come up with innovative solutions. Also, as a team member, it’s really useful to have people with a range of different skills, views and experiences within the company, because then there’s always someone you can turn to for help and advice on any subject. Sounds interesting?
