Insights from the team
Hear from our apprentices.
What makes the job of a Machine Mechanic so special for me is the variety. Because everything is involved, from manual work to programming!
In the apprenticeship we learn about toolmaking and engine production. I have taken courses in turning, milling, drilling and filing and was able to get to know many different areas, which I particularly liked.
