Dominik Dörig

Qualified sawyer and agriculturalist, works as a forklift driver at Lehmann Holzwerk AG

«I have been working as a forklift driver in logistics at Holzwerk Lehmann for over three years. Together with my colleagues, I take the wood to the right destination – from delivery to storage up to transportation. I enjoy the job as I mostly get to work independently due to the fact that I pretty much know where things are in the warehouse.»
