Always ready – an apprenticeship as an industrial mechanic. Downtime? Not with you! With this attitude and a passion for technology, you should consider an apprenticeship as an industrial mechanic. Goods are produced using systems and machines, in the largest possible quantities and at maximum speed. If this process falters, costs quickly escalate. It's no wonder, then, that industrial mechanics are in high demand. Their job is to prevent production downtimes or resolve them as quickly as possible. Your tasks include not only the maintenance and servicing of machines and systems, but also monitoring production processes, troubleshooting malfunctions, setting up systems, and training employees. Since virtually every manufacturing company uses machines and systems, the career opportunities in this profession are as diverse as the range of tasks.
