Construction Equipment Technician
These specialists work in our workshop and take care of the construction equipment returning from construction sites. They repair, maintain, and inspect excavators, wheel loaders, and more. They are the go-to experts when it comes to technical questions and always have a solution at hand. In urgent cases, they even head out to construction sites to provide first aid – to the machines, of course!
Apprenticeship plus higher school qualification
By attending additional classes alongside vocational school, you can earn your advanced technical college entrance qualification (Fachhochschulreife) without much extra effort. The only requirement: you need to have completed intermediate secondary school (Mittlere Reife) as a foundation.
Things do break down on our construction sites from time to time. That’s when we, as mechatronics technicians, come into play. In our workshop, we make sure all the machines are up and running again – and we’re only satisfied when everything works perfectly. Boredom? Not a chance. Every day brings new challenges, and sometimes we even head straight out to the site to provide first aid to the machines.

On top, you’ll also receive holiday and Christmas bonuses. Plus, 30 vacation days per year.
How does the apprenticeship work?
In addition to your time in the company, you will attend the vocational school Goldenberg-Europakolleg in Hürth (block lessons). You’ll also take part in inter-company courses at the Ausbildungszentrum der Bauindustrie NRW in Oberhausen. Together, this prepares you perfectly for your exams.
What comes after the apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is the perfect career start or a springboard for further training. Possible next steps:
- Further training as a construction machinery master craftsman
