Work assignments in Dortmund
Dortmund combines its steel heritage with major new investments — a market with lasting demand for assembly crews. At the Westfalenhütte, thyssenkrupp Steel runs its competence centre for surface finishing: the FBA 10 hot-dip coating line, commissioned in 2022, produces hot-dip galvanised steel together with the FBA 8, primarily for the automotive industry, with just under 1,400 employees on site. Right next door, one of the largest inner-city logistics hubs in the Ruhr region has grown up on the former steelworks land — with Amazon, DHL, DB Schenker, REWE and ID Logistics. In the south, a technology park with around 119 companies has become established on the former Phoenix-West blast-furnace site in Hörde. At the port of Dortmund, the largest canal port in Europe, the Speicherstraße harbour quarter is being redeveloped step by step into a new city district. On top of that comes the IKEA distribution centre in Ellinghausen in the north-west, one of the group's largest logistics sites.

Location and transport links in Dortmund
Dortmund sits at the intersection of the A1 (Kamener Kreuz interchange), the A2 (north), the A40/B1 (Ruhrschnellweg, east–west) and the A45 (Sauerland/Frankfurt). For assignments at the Westfalenhütte and the port, Nordstadt, Eving and Scharnhorst are a good fit; for Phoenix-West, Hörde and Aplerbeck. Cheaper locations can be found in the surrounding area along the A1 and A2 — Kamen, Lünen, Unna or Castrop-Rauxel, for example, all a short drive from the city.
