Work assignments in Essen
Essen is a city of corporate headquarters: RWE, E.ON, Evonik, thyssenkrupp, HOCHTIEF, Brenntag and Aldi Nord are all based here — which means correspondingly high demand for electrical, building-services and fit-out fitters for office buildings, data centres and building technology. The thyssenkrupp headquarters sits in the thyssenkrupp Quartier in the Krupp-Gürtel, one of the major urban development areas on former Krupp works land, which has been developed step by step for years. In the north of Essen, the roughly 160-hectare Econova industrial and business area at the city port keeps logistics, plant and industrial fitters busy. On top of that come ongoing modernisation and conversion works at the corporate sites — Evonik moved its headquarters into the former RWE tower on Opernplatz in 2026.

Location and transport links in Essen
Essen sits in the middle of the Ruhr region's motorway network: the A40 crosses the city east–west, the A42 serves the north, the A52 leads towards Düsseldorf and the A44 to the south. For assignments in the north, Altenessen, Vogelheim and Borbeck are a good fit; for the city-centre construction sites, Frohnhausen, Holsterhausen and the Westviertel. Cheaper locations can be found in the neighbouring cities of Gelsenkirchen, Bottrop and Oberhausen — a short drive away via the A40 and A42.
