About this Apprenticeship
Analysis & Specification: You start the customer project with a technical requirements analysis and carry this out together with the development team in a detailed specification. You define the electrical engineering specifications for offers and technical descriptions.
What You'll Learn
- Analysis & Specification: You start the customer project with a technical requirements analysis and carry this out together with the development team in a detailed specification. You define the electrical engineering specifications for offers and technical descriptions.
- System Architecture & Integration: You are responsible for the system architecture (hardware & control) and interfaces. As a technical contact for mechanical design, you specify the requirements for system integration and define concrete material and execution specifications at critical points (e.g. EMC).
- Control & Implementation: You coordinate the detailed design (e.g. in EPLAN) by our external partners and monitor progress. You ensure proper implementation and, if necessary, also intervene operationally yourself to implement or adapt technical solutions directly.
- Safety & Compliance: To ensure our systems function safely in use, you ensure compliance with relevant standards (e.g. VDE 0100, EN 60204) during design and acceptance. Prospectively, you also accompany the internal CE conformity assessment.
- Overall Responsibility Work Package: You lead the electrical engineering trade over the entire project duration. You are responsible for the budget, schedule management and clean master data maintenance and documentation.
Requirements
- A completed technical degree (Electrical Engineering, Automation Engineering, Mechatronics) or a comparable qualification such as Technician/Master with relevant experience.
- Ideally you have several years of professional experience in system design, special machinery construction or in the environment of mobile applications (e.g. construction machinery, agricultural technology, special vehicles).
- You have knowledge of common safety standards (e.g. VDE 0100, EN 60204).
- You understand PLC architectures (IEC 61131-3 / TIA Portal) and can safely understand and evaluate external EPLAN projects (P8).
- Knowledge of SAP and experience in documentation of technical work packages are an advantage.
- You are IT-savvy and use AI tools like Gemini profitably for your daily work.
- You work in a structured and analytical manner, communicate in a targeted manner with interfaces and keep an overview even in complex project phases.
- Due to our international orientation, very good German and English skills (B2) and a willingness to travel worldwide (approx. 10%) are required.
What Kärcher offers
- So that you can look forward to a secure WOW future, we pay an annual contribution to the company pension scheme for all employees, which you can additionally increase through individual contributions.
- Small dream-fulfillment aids: Anniversary payments for all who stay long in our team, target bonuses and other special payments.
- Enough time to see family, friends and the world: Up to 32 days vacation. On Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve you have off.
- The right people, at the right time, in the right place, with the right perspective: Sounds complicated? Not for us. We support you in your individual development with our talent management process and an extensive training program.
- We enable paid time off: Whether extended parental leave, care leave, further education leave or sabbatical - you and your individual life situation are the focus.
