Is this for you?

As a multi-skilled mechanic you will produce components from metal and plastic, depending on your field of activity. In addition, you will use modern drilling, turning and milling machines, many of which are computer controlled, as well as many other machine tools. You will carry out projects as part of a team with a range of specialists: you will look for design solutions, build prototypes and test these. As the parts must be very accurate, you will have to plan your work extremely well and work with a very high level of concentration. As a multi-skilled mechanic, you will be responsible for inspecting the parts and modules with regard to their function and quality.
