Apprentice Signmaker EFZ

🎨 Passion instead of standard. With us, you don’t just put letters on foil – you transform blank surfaces into messages that can no longer be overlooked. Whether a small shop window lettering or the entire front of a lorry: with us, you learn both.

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.

• Design of fonts, logos and graphics for lettering and advertising materials
• Preparation of data for digital printing, cutting plotters and milling
• Production and application of lettering on various surfaces – from vehicle fronts to shop windows
• Direct customer contact: clarifying needs, budget and schedule together with the customer
• Installation of the finished works directly on site

• Completed compulsory schooling (secondary or district school)
• Creativity, a sense for shapes, colours and design
• Enjoyment in working with computers, graphic programmes and modern output devices
• Manual dexterity for assembly and adhesive techniques
• No fear of heights – sometimes you also go on scaffolding or cranes
• Enjoyment of contact for collaboration with customers and team

• 🖨️ Real studio instead of classroom: You work with state-of-the-art technology on real customer orders – from small surfaces to entire lorry fronts
• 🚛 Variety instead of uniformity: Vehicle lettering for commercial vehicles is everyday business with us – a specialism not offered by every training company
• 🧑🎨 From idea to installation: You accompany projects from the design concept through production to handover to the customer
• 🤝 Personal support by our experienced team throughout the entire apprenticeship
• 🎟️ Exclusive employee discounts within the Knecht Group – from mobility to travel to services

🤔 Why us – and not another training company?

• Commercial vehicles as a specialism: Lettering entire lorry fronts is a different league than a shop window – with us you learn exactly that
• Over 100 years of experience, but no stagnation: We are not an anonymous large corporation, but an owner-managed family business – here you are known by name, not just as a personnel number
• Modern studio: Digital printing, cutting plotters and milling machines at the latest standard instead of outdated equipment
• A team that stays: Our long-standing employees speak for themselves – short distances and a family atmosphere are not just empty phrases with us
• More than an apprenticeship: Through the Knecht and Thomann Group, paths to Eurobus, Welti-Furrer and other sister companies are open to you after graduation
