Production, assembly and disassembly You not only work with the finished machines, but you also manufacture parts and assemblies for production plants and machines. Then you mount them and adjust them properly. It is important to check all functions, because the workpieces must be accurate to one hundredth or even one thousandth of a millimeter! If necessary, rebuild the production facilities. 1 Use technical documents to help you plan your work steps exactly. You often talk to colleagues, for example from the field of electrical engineering or mechatronics. Inspection and optimization Once a machine is running, it always runs – wrong! It is particularly important that production processes are constantly monitored. On the PC, you will collect data and document individual steps. Only in this way can defects in production be detected and eliminated as quickly as possible. You are also interested in constantly optimizing the work steps. Quality controls are therefore part of your regular tasks. Maintenance and repair Maintenance means preventive maintenance measures. If a machine is defective, nothing can be produced. This means losses for a company. You're in the game! You make sure that production plants are cleaned regularly, operating materials are refilled and wear phenomena are detected at an early stage. If necessary, order spare parts or manufacture them yourself. You will, of course, supply waste products properly.

In addition to your basic interest in technology, you should bring craftsmanship and a good spatial imagination. Motivation and careful work Reliability, commitment and team skills are of course for you. A real school degree/medium maturity is provided at least. In addition, good grades in Mathe and German are desirable.
