Vocational Training
- Industrial mechanic specialising in precision engineering (IHK)
- Cutting mechanic specialiing in turning and milling technology (IHK)
A synthesis of craft and technology. Our employees are craftsmen and specialists in highly complex production machines. Industrial mechanics specialising in precision engineering unite craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology.
After just 2 to 3 months of basic training, our apprentices are firmly integrated into the company's operations. Independent work is very important to us from the very beginning. This profession requires craftmanship, technical understanding and a demand for accuracy as well as a solid academic foundation.
The training balance is impressive. The first apprentice was hired at P & S on September 1st 1998. Today more than half of our workers started out as apprentices. The continuous development of the company means the career possibilities post-apprenticeship are extremely varied and interesting.
