What do construction mechanics do?

This is what your job in metalworking looks like

As a structural mechanic at SPALECK, you are the expert in metal structures. Together with your team, you transform raw materials into finished components: First, you shape the steel precisely, and then you assemble the individual parts with precision to create a sturdy final product.

Here’s what to expect during your training

Training Content

During your apprenticeship as a construction mechanic at SPALECK in Bocholt, you’ll first learn how to read blueprints and the basics of thread cutting, drilling, deburring, and bending. To enable you to custom-manufacture all components, you’ll learn various welding processes and techniques over the course of your training. The components you manufacture are then welded together in the assembly department to form large welded assemblies.

FAQs

Here are some questions about the apprenticeship program for construction mechanics. We’d be happy to assist you with any other questions you may have.

What are the career prospects after completing the training program?

We provide training to meet our own needs. If trainees perform well both on the job and at vocational school, our clear goal is to hire them after they complete their training.

Since SPALECK has a broad range of operations—both as a supplier and in its own mechanical engineering division—there are various career paths available after completing an apprenticeship—whether as a specialist in the welding shop, in the final assembly of large-scale systems, or later through further training in workshop management or quality assurance.

What is the work environment like on the production floor?

As a fabrication mechanic, you’ll mainly work in our production facilities. Since metal is cut, bent, welded, and ground here, a certain amount of noise and dust is unavoidable.

To protect your health, we provide you with a full set of personal protective equipment. In addition to standard work clothes, this includes professional hearing protection, safety glasses, and fume extraction systems at the welding stations.
