Apprentice Vehicle Body Painter EFZ

🎨 Passion instead of standard. With us, it’s not just about applying paint – you restore vehicles to a condition where the damage is no longer visible. From colour matching to the final polish shine: you will learn precision from the ground up with us.

Gebr. Knecht AG combines tradition with the future: for over 100 years we have been a successful family business and since 2024 part of the Thomann Commercial Vehicle Group with a total of eleven locations throughout the German-speaking part of Switzerland.

• Preparation of vehicle surfaces for painting
• Colour matching and mixing with the latest technology
• Painting work on passenger cars as well as commercial vehicles – trucks and buses
• Polishing and finishing work to make vehicles shine like new again
• Quality control before handing over the vehicles

• Completed compulsory schooling
• A flair for shapes and colours, a good eye for the finest differences
• Enjoyment of precise, clean work
• Manual dexterity and concentration skills
• Team spirit and eagerness to learn

• 🚛 Real variety instead of passenger car routine: You will paint not only passenger cars but also trucks and buses – a range of vehicles that other training companies do not offer
• 🧑 🏫 Personal support from our experienced training team throughout the entire apprenticeship
• 👥 Young team including other apprentices – you are not on your own
• 🔩 Workshop at top level: modern painting technology, colour mixing systems, short distances to materials

🤔 Why us – and not another training company?

• Commercial vehicles instead of just passenger cars: With us, you will paint trucks and buses from the start – not only after the apprenticeship
• 100 years of experience but no stagnation: We are not an anonymous large corporation but a family-owned business – here you are known by name, not just as a personnel number
• Training is lived with us: We have been training apprentices for generations and know exactly how to make it easier for young talents to get started
• A team that stays: Our long-standing employees speak for themselves – short distances and a family atmosphere are not just empty words with us
• More than an apprenticeship: Through the Knecht and Thomann Group, you have opportunities after graduation with Eurobus, Welti-Furrer and other sister companies
