Apprenticeship as Electronics Technician for Automation Technology

Grenzach is the competence centre within the global group for the production of water-soluble vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin) and B6 (pyridoxine) as well as fat-soluble vitamin D3. Furthermore, ASCP (the fat-soluble form of vitamin C), PUFA, TEAVIGO and intermediates for carotenoids are produced in Grenzach. The site employs around 700 people (m/f/d). Chemical plants already look complicated from the outside. Their inner technical structure is even more complex. Process control systems, measuring systems, control and regulating systems form a unit and must function flawlessly. Electronics technicians for automation technology find sources of faults quickly and eliminate them reliably. They maintain the plants, carry out inspections and perform repairs. For this, an electronics technician for automation technology must also bring a lot of knowledge. They read circuit and functional diagrams like a thriller. Teamwork must not be a foreign word, because electronics technicians for automation technology work closely with chemical technicians, power electronics technicians and industrial mechanics.

Electronics technicians for automation technology monitor the proper condition of electrical, measuring, control and regulating systems. They carry out maintenance, inspection and repair work and document the results for quality assurance. They plan, assemble and test process control equipment. They have knowledge of the function and application of programmable logic controllers and digital process control systems.

Reading circuit and functional diagrams like a thriller. Teamwork. Knowledge of the function and application of programmable logic controllers and digital process control systems. Interest in a varied and future-oriented apprenticeship.
