Industrial mechanic

"This is a job you need a sure instinct for. I like to work with my hands and I want variety. Therefore, the apprenticeship as an industrial mechanic fits me perfectly."

Moritz, Apprentice as an industrial mechanic at our plant in Iserlohn

"As an industrial mechanic I am an all-rounder. I take care that the production runs smoothly and that the machinery and all the other equipment are always ready for use. I set up the machines and control their function. We are also responsible for the briefing of the machine operators.If it happens in production that something does not run as scheduled, I will look for the reason of a downtime. Then I order suitable spare parts or I produce them on my own in order to repair the machine as quickly as possible.In my apprenticeship the most important thing is the sure instinct for metal. Filing, milling, spinning – this must be perfect, an absolute must! Because often it depends on tenth or hundredth millimeters, and then it is very helpful to obtain 100%."
