Contact Berufsbildung e-mail berufsbildung@ruag.ch RUAG AG Seetalstrasse 175 6032 Emmen Production mechanic EFZ [Swiss certificate of competence] Production mechanics work in mechanical operations. From the precision component to the production line: They machine metal components and assemble them into devices, apparatus and machines. To do this, they read production documents and technical drawings and prepare the necessary work equipment. As you can see, people in this profession influence all facets of mechanics. They manufacture apparatus, equipment and machine parts, but also entire steel construction productions. Production mechanics continuously monitor series production on computer-controlled machines - such as laser or waterjet systems - and intervene when necessary. If deviations are detected, they correct the settings on the production equipment. They also use lathes and milling machines to produce precise individual parts and check their quality after production using measuring instruments. They assemble and install them on assemblies, which includes checking and maintaining the finished machines. If necessary, production mechanics take them apart and replace individual mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic elements. A job at RUAG is therefore extremely technical and varied. What we offer you As a production mechanic, you complete your orders and projects accurately and independently, but also as part of a team and together with other specialists. Your tasks will include processing and joining techniques such as drilling, turning, milling and grinding. You mainly process metals such as steel, chrome steel or aluminum; however, you also work with plastics. What you should bring with you You have completed primary school and show an interest in technical contexts. You also have a good practical and technical understanding. You can visualize things well spatially and are handy. You enjoy working with your hands and with machines. Duration of apprenticeship Your apprenticeship at RUAG will last 4 years.
