Precision mechanic

Did you enjoy playing with Lego as a child or tinkering with tiny components? Then you should continue to pursue your passion for tools and machines in the future and do an apprenticeship which requires precise working. Precision mechanics manufacture metal precision parts for machines and equipment and assemble these - like Lego bricks - to create a functional unit. In most cases, precision mechanics use computer-controlled machine tools (CNC), but sometimes they do the work manually, for example,
in the production of prototypes.

The precision mechanic plans work processes, sets up machine tools and machines metal using methods such as turning, milling, drilling, grinding and honing. The precision mechanic’s responsibilities also include the subsequent review of the work results, as well as the assembly of modules to create the finished forwarding tractor.

You can see that being a precision mechanic requires a lot of intuition, sensitivity and precise working. Precision engineering therefore is a very varied and demanding profession, which has a lot more to offer than you would imagine at first.

Duration of training:

3.5 years

 

School leaving qualification:

For the training, you will need a school leaving certificate (equivalent to
the German “qualifizierter Mittelschulabschluss” or “Realschulabschluss”)
