At home at the workshop

Do you have a penchant for manual work, handling tools and are not afraid of getting dirty? Then perhaps one of the workshops at Max Planck Institutes is the right place for you. Here, workpieces, equipment and device parts are manufactured specifically for the needs of scientists. To do this, you will set up machine tools and process metals; you will turn, mill, drill and grind, weld or screw components, assemble and adjust them.

For this, we particularly need trainees as

  • precision mechanic
  • Industrial mechanic.

In addition, we occasionally train as

  • Plant mechanic
  • Tool mechanic
  • Construction mechanic
  • Materials tester
  • Metalworker
