Vielfalt ist hier ganz normal
Durch unsere Arbeit wollen wir außergewöhnliche Beiträge leisten, um die Welt lebenswert zu erhalten und Fortschritt zu ermöglichen. Als Basis dient uns selbstverständlich der respektvolle und offene Umgang mit allen Menschen und der Gesellschaft.
Wir wollen dazu auch die Vielfalt unseres Unternehmens stärken und ein Arbeitsklima schaffen, bei dem sich jeder Mensch frei entfalten und dazugehörig fühlen kann. Aus diesem Grund fördert und lebt DMT eine Kultur, in der jede Persönlichkeit willkommen ist – unabhängig von ihrer Herkunft, Religion, Identität oder ihres Geschlechts. Auch Dank der Diversität unserer Belegschaft können wir bestens auf die Anforderungen unserer Auftraggeber in aller Welt eingehen.
Ein höherer Belegschaftsanteil von Frauen ist dabei eines der zentralen Themen unserer Personalmanagement-Strategie. Wir arbeiten aktiv daran, Frauen auf allen Ebenen und in allen Fachbereichen einzustellen, zu fördern, zu befördern und über ihre Zufriedenheit langfristig ans Unternehmen zu binden.
Gleichberechtigung ist dabei ein wesentlicher Bestandteil. Die faire Einstellung und Beschäftigung von Frauen sind uns ein großes Anliegen und wir freuen uns jedes Mal besonders, wenn wir weibliche Bewerberinnen kennenlernen dürfen. Denn trotz unserer Bemühungen um weibliche qualifizierte Talente in den MINT-Fachbereichen ist uns die bisher erreichte Quote noch zu gering.
Sollten Sie sich für eine Tätigkeit innerhalb der DMT GROUP interessieren, sprechen Sie uns bitte auf alle Initiativen und Optionen an, die wir Ihnen bieten können, um ein für Sie förderliches Arbeitsumfeld zu ermöglichen.
Übrigens: DMT befürwortet und unterstützt selbstverständlich die globalen LGBTI-Verhaltensrichtlinien der Vereinten Nationen für Unternehmen. Als global tätiges Unternehmen, mit über 2.000 Mitarbeitenden, sehen wir uns in der Verantwortung, grundsätzlich für die Menschenrechte einzutreten und diese nach besten Kräften zu fördern.

DMT unterstützt und beteiligt sich regelmäßig am International Women in Engineering Day, der darauf abzielt, Frauen in Ingenieurberufen sichtbar zu machen, auch wenn sie in ihren Bereichen immer noch weitgehend unterrepräsentiert sind. Unter dem Motto "Make Safety Seen" werden 2023 talentierte Ingenieurinnen gefeiert, die dazu beitragen, unsere Welt sicherer zu machen. Von der Gewährleistung der technischen Hygiene unserer Trinkwasserinstallationen bis hin zum Schutz der Menschen und der Umwelt vor radioaktiven Abfällen stellen wir nur eine kleine Auswahl unserer talentierten Expertinnen aus verschiedenen Ingenieurbereichen vor. Klicken Sie auf die Kacheln unten, um mehr zu erfahren.
Alisha Gertack, Project Manager for Mining Legacies, joined DMT as a working student in the field of computer-aided mine image evaluation. Now out in the field, she provides expert support for drilling-related exploration and rehabilitation measures with regard to legacies of near-surface coal mining. Due to the social consensus to phase out the use of fossil fuels for electricity generation and the associated closure of coal mining operations, many near-surface mines now lie dormant. However, without adequate security measures, near-surface drifts and openings can pose a threat to both infrastructure and public safety.
“My goal as an expert consultant is to restore the stability of the site or to ensure it long-term,” Alisha explained. “Basically, I ensure the ground under our feet is stable!”
Figures released by The Women’s Engineering Society show that under 20% of engineers are women. Women in the mining sector are even rarer, which is why we are especially proud to have Alisha on the team.
To say Stefanie Steinmeier really burns for her job is no lie – As Head of Fire Testing, she’s in charge of our multiple accredited fire testing facilities, where vehicle safety and the protection of passengers is a strong focus.
In honour of International Women In Engineering Day on 23rd June and this year’s motto Make Safety Seen, we asked Stefanie and a number of our female engineers to explain how they provide vital solutions and services to safeguard lives. Our aim: to give women in STEM professions a profile when they are still largely under-represented in their fields.
“We’ve been performing fire safety tests for the rail and shipping industry for years, determining for example the flammability and smoke behaviour of components, furnishings and coverings on yachts and cruise ships and in train carriages and coaches,” Stefanie explained.
“More recently, due to the rapid rise of e-mobility, we’ve specialized in testing Lithium Ionen batteries, according to valid norms or our clients’ own specifications. We even film the fire tests or offer live transmission so our clients can witness the behavior of their products firsthand”.
What better way to Make Safety Seen and what an exciting job!
Ashlee Fudge, Geophysicist at DMT in Canada, uuses advanced geophysical methods to map out underlying geology for clients’ large-scale engineering projects to help mitigate risk to the environment. “By understanding the local geology, I can assess, for example, if there are risks for saline water intrusions from deep underlying formations,” she explained.
Already an outstanding expert in geophysics, Ashlee applies a variety of methods such as seismic reflection and refraction, as well as resistivity methods such as electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) and time domain electromagnetics (TEM) to image what lies underground.
“Seismic data allows me to look for hazards such as faulting, steep slopes and geological collapses, which create more risk for saline intrusions, while resistivity data allows me to assess the grain size of the deposits which have an effect in hydrogeological pathways. Combining data sets allows me to get an even more accurate image of the subsurface leading to better, more complete interpretation of risks”.
Ashlee is one of several female geophysical engineers at DMT, out in the field whatever the weather and the terrain, delivering safety for our clients and their projects.
"I drive innovation for the safe management of radioactive waste!" – A strong statement from our Dr. Marie Charlotte Bornhöft.
„Aiming at safe, sustainable and publicly acceptable solutions for the management of radioactive waste across Europe, my European colleagues and I join forces within the European Joint Programme on Radioactive Waste Management (EURAD). One of my responsibilities in the programme is to head the tasks on predisposal and disposal strategies for so-called Small Inventory Member States (SIMS) – European countries with only small amounts of waste originating mostly from medicine, industry and research,” Charlotte explained.
With a Masters in Nuclear Safety Engineering, and experience as a project manager for radioactive waste management, we know that with her both our projects and our safety are in good hands.
As Head of DMT’s Testing Body for Biological Safety, Dr. Melanie Wiegand helps ensure the safety of the world’s number one food: drinking water.
Microorganisms in drinking water can lead to infections and further health impairments, which is why testing for microbiological contamination such as legionella is important - but where does the engineering part come in?
“Drinking water installations can adversely affect the water quality, both chemically and microbiologically,” Melanie explained. “As well testing water samples in the lab, experts here at DMT also check the technical design of drinking water installations for compliance with the generally accepted engineering standards and regulations for both new construction and renovation projects. By evaluating defects and determining measures for remedy, we can minimize the risk of contamination problems later on.”
In engineering, as well as health care, prevention is better than cure!
Melanie is one of numerous female experts at DMT working in a range of technical sectors, from plant and product safety to civil engineering or natural resources, but we continue to strive for a better gender balance, especially at management level.
Within the Maditrace Project, Luisa Daxeder leads the development of one of the standards of CERA 4in1 – a certification system that aims to integrate environmental and social criteria and thus increase the visibility of responsibly operating companies along the entire value chain of mineral resources, from exploration through extraction and processing to the final product. One of the main criteria Luisa addresses is occupational health and safety.
“Mining is a high-risk sector, so what I really enjoy about my work is being able to contribute to its responsible development which, in the long run, leads to a safer and better sustained environment. We are shaping the landscape of engineering and mining.” She added. “And it is great to see an increasing number of women working in the industry.”
We hope this trend continues: At DMT GROUP we actively endeavour to recruit women at all levels and in all divisions, to support and promote them throughout their careers. So, if Luisa or one of our other female experts has inspired you, our recruiting manager Janna Ruiters would love to hear from you at JoinUs(at)dmt-group.LÖSCHEN.com
