Industry and manufacturing

Production plants look for operators, assistants and skilled staff for series manufacturing.

  • Production assistant
  • Machine operator
  • Plant operator
  • CNC specialist
  • Cutting machine operation
  • Industrial mechanics
  • Quality inspection
  • Assembly worker
  • Forklift driver

Industry offers clear tasks and settled shifts. For candidates without a German qualification it is often the quickest way in.

Basic German is enough at the start. Safety briefings must be understood, however, so many plants ask for A2.

Anyone who has worked on machines finds their feet quickly. Controls and gauges differ, the way of working is similar.

Plants with a shift plan and works transport suit newcomers particularly well. Without a car and without a bus link, even the journey to work fails.

Typical requirements

  • German at level A2 for briefings and safety
  • Experience on machines or in series production
  • Readiness to work rotating shifts
  • Technical understanding and care
  • Evidence of training or courses

Typical conditions

  • Rotating shifts with premiums for nights and weekends
  • Induction at the machine by a mentor
  • Work clothing and protective equipment are provided
  • Works transport or organised lift sharing
  • A permanent post after the probation period
