  • Glass and facade cleaning
  • Post-construction cleaning
  • Caretaker
  • Building services
  • Grounds maintenance
  • Laundry

The work needs little language but a lot of reliability. Our standard is still German at A2 or higher with a recognised certificate.

Many posts fall early in the morning or in the evening.

Higher demands apply to caretakers and building services. Here, practical skills and usually a driving licence are needed.

Employers should state the sites and the travel times clearly. Scattered sites without a vehicle are hard for newcomers to reach.
