During your apprenticeship you will be supervised by experienced training supervisors who will ensure that the contents of the apprenticeship are passed on effectively. You will become familiar with the following areas, among others:

• Production, assembly, and testing of our machinery
• Commissioning of new systems that are in line with state-of-the-art technology
• Quality management
• Maintenance and repairs of machines, facilities, and production systems
• Planning and management of working procedures
• Installation and testing of hardware and software components 
• Team work, communication, and task management

In order for you to get to know and understand all relevant company processes, when learning about maintenance you will get to know all the different production plants. Thanks to this you will be able to bring the various steps of the process into context.

You hold at least a good intermediate-level high school diploma and should have a good understanding of mathematics and physics as well as a quick grasp of new things. Good technical understanding, spatial awareness, and abstract, logical thinking are advantageous. We expect team work, reliability, and a responsible work ethic. And of course you should enjoy working with machinery.

The apprenticeship lasts three and a half years in total, but through good academic and professional performances, it is possible for this period to be shortened. The following applies:

• If you hold an intermediate-level high school diploma (or equivalent), the length of the apprenticeship can be shortened by up to 6 months.
• If you hold a technical high school diploma/Abitur (or if you have already completed an apprenticeship), the length of the apprenticeship can be shortened by up to 12 months.

A dual apprenticeship takes place in two locations: At a company and at a vocational school. Lessons at the
vocational school are taught two days per week and follow the Hamburg school holiday schedule.
