Precision mechanic (m/f/d)
Mould making
Do you think working with steel is boring and unspectacular? That depends on your perspective. We're not talking about hammers, chisels, wrenches, or pliers. We're talking about technological challenges.
During their apprenticeship at APINEX, they will be trained to manufacture specialty tools in the high-end sector for plastics processing. This requires a great deal of ambition, willingness to learn, critical thinking, and motivation on their part.
Toolmaker is one of the most respected professions in the metalworking industry because it is extremely versatile and demanding. A training reform took place in 1986/87. Since then, the profession has been known as precision mechanic and has at least two specializations: punching and forming technology and mold technology. With the reform, specialization increased. While toolmaker previously covered the entire tool spectrum from punching and forming technology to mold technology, this is now split. To clarify: Mold technology includes injection molds, which are used primarily to shape plastic, but also certain metals, using heat and pressure in the tool. Punching and forming technology involves, among other things, punching, bending, and deep drawing.

What could my career path at APINEX look like?
Vocational training is the first step into professional life. One thing is clear: no one has to do the same job their entire life. Quite the opposite: Especially in medium-sized companies, there are countless opportunities for professional development. As an industrial clerk in a medium-sized company, you work across departments, gaining an overview of the entire company.
If you demonstrate to your team and superiors your potential, your willingness to learn and perform, your ability to accept criticism, your team spirit, and your loyalty to our company, then the door will be wide open for a successful career. But never forget: Everything takes time! You'll surely remember from your physics class: Performance is work per unit of time. Your performance can only be good if you consistently deliver good work.
