#BALM - We set standards in modern mobility and transport policy!

"Ensuring safe and sustainable mobility for the population and the logistics of goods - that is our task at the Federal Office for Logistics and Mobility."

As a federal authority within the remit of the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV), we are responsible for a variety of tasks related to transport, logistics, and modern mobility. Our range of tasks includes the monitoring and enforcement of freight transport, traffic data analysis, and market observation of all modes of transport, as well as funding programs particularly for cycling and public transport, and crisis management.

#WeMoveThings – and this is not only happening at the headquarters in Cologne, but also in our 11 branch offices nationwide in internal and external service. More than 2,000 colleagues contribute their individual skills, knowledge, and creativity – whether virtually, on-site, or from home. Bring your knowledge and your personality into our teams – this is the foundation for our further development into a service provider for modern mobility. 

We are fully committed to digitization: Not only are our control vehicles equipped with the latest specialized technology, but so are our workplaces: All employees have their own laptops to make the best possible use of mobile working and flexible working hours.

This is, of course, not possible without state-of-the-art information and communication technology, the heart of which is our data center in downtown Cologne, which connects 15 locations nationwide and several hundred interfaces to German and European authorities.

As you can see – there is something for everyone!

Who we are looking for:

In addition to experienced employees from administration or career changers, graduates also have the opportunity to enter the professional world with us. Whether administrative specialist, lawyer, economist, engineer, computer scientist, or specialist and management staff – your skills are needed here!

Of course, we also provide training 

• as an administrative specialist (focus on federal administration) and
• as an IT specialist (focus on system integration)!

Please apply for a specific job posting whenever possible.
