About your activities

We offer you an internship tailored to your career aspirations in our company, with the goal of gaining practical experience in the field of electrical engineering and/or mechanical engineering. During the internship, you will go through several areas of our multifaceted company and take on your own project after intensive introduction.

Every internship starts in our production, where you will get hands-on experience and work on the manufacturing of our measuring transformers. You will gain basic knowledge in mechanical manufacturing, which includes operating CNC machines, drilling, milling, or wiring. You will learn about the important properties of various materials in your daily work. Furthermore, you will gain insights into our high-voltage testing fields and be able to accompany various tests.

In doing so, you will learn about our processes in production and thus the foundation of our company. This will give you the best possible understanding of all downstream processes and later tasks within projects.

Equipped with this knowledge, you will then be able to work on cross-departmental projects, with the goal of independently leading at least one of them. Projects to improve infrastructure, optimizations in production processes, or in the area of design or industrialization are possible areas of application for the second part of your internship.

Your benefits

• A network in the working world for your career after training
• A solid and practical technical basic education
• Collaboration with long-standing and experienced engineers
• Market-standard and fair internship salary
