Career opportunities for pupils Apprenticeship, cooperative study programme or school internship at Schenck

The way electrical engineering and IT work together is very important for industrial manufacturing. Why does an industrial robot always grip the right part? How do apps control machines? Practical questions that urgently need electrical engineers.

As a graduate from this degree course, you will analyse electronic systems and develop solutions for current problems in production technology. Technical know-how is complemented by essential knowledge about automation systems.

This is what you’ll learn:

• Combined use of electrical engineering and IT
• Simulation of technical systems
• Setting up and programming microprocessors
• Automation

Computer science plays a main role in all key technologies, from software development to safety and security consulting, from network development to user training – computer scientists are sought-after specialists!

As a graduate from this degree course, you will analyse and develop solutions for digital networks, embedded systems or automation technology. Throughout the whole course, there will be a focus on programming and software development. Depending on your speciality, you can supplement your studies with important knowledge in the fields of electrical engineering and IT, software engineering, IT security and project management.

This is what you’ll learn:

• Software development, design, testing and maintenance
• Design and quality assurance of embedded systems
• Software development for embedded systems
• Analysing contexts and developing solutions for current problems

Learn how machines work. Construct systems that interact. As a mechatronics engineer, you have broad based knowledge of many technical disciplines – you make things work!

Graduates from this degree course develop and design machines and systems that consist of mechanical, electronic and IT components.

This is what you’ll learn: 

• Devising and designing balancing machines and equipment
• Developing new products
• Commissioning (introducing our machines to the customer, including training the maintenance and operating staff)
• Quality management
• Technical sales

Managing projects. Assuming responsibility.

Graduates from the industrial engineering course are managers with engineering know-how. They acquire business knowledge combined with the engineering knowledge of a mechanical engineer. During the course, you can choose to specialise in "technical sales" or "production and logistics".

This is what you’ll learn:

• Holistic project coordination with regard to technological and economic aspects
• Marketing and sales of products and systems
• Controlling and consulting
• Procurement and vendor management
• Quality management

• Have you already obtained university entrance qualifications (Fachabitur or Allgemeine Hochschulreife in Germany). Or will you be doing so at the end of this academic year?
• Do you enjoy and get good grades in mathematics and physics?
• Do you like working in a team, are you willing to learn and have you got good communication skills?

Then a cooperative study programme at Schenck is just the right thing for you! 

Please use our online application portal. 

Your application should include:

• Cover letter
• CV (preferably with your picture)
• Last two school reports
• Certificates about any extracurricular activities (if available)
• Letters of reference from any internships (if available)

Please note that your application documents are all we have at first in order to gain an initial impressions of who you are. Your application should therefore by orderly, well organised, complete and informative. If in addition you let us know what you are interested in, which hobbies you have, or when you will be leaving school, this will also give us a better impression.

1. Candidates are chosen according to the applications. If you are chosen, you will be invited to an aptitude test held in the training workshop in Langen. First and foremost, this will examine your mathematical skills.
2. Done well in the aptitude test? Then a personal interview will let us get to know you better. This gives you an opportunity to ask any questions and to convince us of your talents!
3. If we decide that you are the right candidate, you will receive all your contract documents. Then we will welcome you to Schenck RoTec!

Please only use our online application portal to submit your application for the apprenticeship on offer or your planned degree course. You can find the link to our online application below the job offer.

We offer training in the following apprenticeships and degree courses:

• Apprenticeship in mechatronics

• Degree course in electrical engineering and IT (KoSE) 

• Degree course in computer science (KoSi)

• Degree course in mechatronics engineering 

• Degree course in industrial engineering

Yes, we offer an extensive programme of training and advanced courses, which also include language courses and product training programmes. 

Your apprenticeship pay is based on the currently valid “Hessenmetall” collective bargaining wage agreement.

Yes, we support you with various funding programmes.

You will work flexitime based on a 35-hour week. The exact time when you start and finish work depends on the particular site where you are working.

For an apprenticeship you should have obtained at least a secondary school certificate (Realschulabschluss in Germany). To join a cooperative study programme, you should have obtained university entrance qualifications (Abitur or Fachabitur in Germany).

An apprenticeship usually takes three to three and a half years. However, if you get good marks and perform well during the apprenticeship, the period of time may be reduced subject to approval.

The degree courses are offered in cooperation with Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. The apprenticeship in mechatronics is offered in cooperation with the Erasmus-Kittler-Schule in Darmstadt.

You will have an annual entitlement of 30 days leave.

Yes, we set great store by international training. After all, we operate on an almost global scale. If you are generally doing well, you can therefore go abroad for one of your placements.
