Polymechanics

Apprenticeship duration: 4 years


Polymechanics manufacture workpieces, produce tools and equipment for production, or assemble devices, apparatus, machines, or systems. In collaboration with other specialists, they work on orders or projects, build prototypes, and carry out tests. They are involved in commissioning, planning, and monitoring production processes, or performing maintenance work


Requirements Profile:

  • Manual dexterity
  • Good technical understanding
  • Strong spatial awareness
  • Logical thinking
  • Enjoyment of mathematics and geometry
  • Clean, precise working methods
  • Perseverance and a sense of responsibility
  • Intermediate secondary school level or high lower secondary school level

PLASTICS TECHNOLOGIST

Apprenticeship duration: 4 years

Plastics technologists are specialists who understand what plastics are made of, how they are processed, and where they are used. Plastic products are manufactured using high-tech injection moulding machines, which the plastics technologist sets up and adjusts using their expert knowledge. They also carry out sampling and optimisation of new tools until they are ready for series production. With their mechanical skills, they are able to manufacture peripheral equipment themselves and use it on the handling systems, programming it independently in order to achieve a flawless and cost-effective process.


Profile of Requirements:

  • Manual dexterity
  • Good technical understanding
  • Good spatial awareness
  • Logical thinking
  • Enjoyment of mathematics and geometry
  • Clean and precise working style
  • Perseverance and a sense of responsibility
  • Intermediate secondary school level or high level of lower secondary education

AUTOMATICIAN

Apprenticeship Duration: 4 Years

Together with other professionals, automation technicians are responsible not only for the production of automated systems, but also for their commissioning, maintenance, repair, as well as planning, programming, and documentation.

When building electrical control cabinets, devices, machines, and automation systems, automation technicians are responsible for the electrical and pneumatic components. They assemble the automated systems according to production schematics, wire and pipe the individual components, program the system controls, and prepare the technical documentation.

During commissioning, they test the control software and carry out functional and quality checks. Automation technicians maintain and repair automated systems, including those used in building services engineering. They troubleshoot faults in automated equipment and implement modifications or expansions as needed.


Profile of Requirements:

  • Technical understanding
  • Interest in new technologies, electrical engineering, and technical interrelationships
  • Ability to comprehend abstract concepts
  • Quick grasp of new information
  • Spatial awareness and visualisation skills
  • Enjoyment of precise and meticulous working methods
  • Patience, perseverance, and the ability to concentrate
  • High level of secondary school education
  • Strong performance in mathematics and physics

Intercompany Courses (Swissmechanic – GZB Ziegelbrücke):

  • Manual manufacturing techniques: 12 days
  • Fundamentals of electrical engineering: 12 days
  • Measurement and control technology: 24 days

Vocational School:
Gewerblich-industrielle Berufsfachschule, 8866 Ziegelbrücke
