Industrial Mechanic (Industriemechaniker)

Responsibilities (maintenance reality)

What “good work” looks like

• Repairs are safe, clean, and documented (what failed, what was replaced, what was tested).
• You prevent repeat breakdowns by reporting root causes (wear, misalignment, poor lubrication, loose fasteners).
• You keep production stable by reacting fast, but without shortcuts that create later downtime.

Requirements (detailed)

Hard requirements

• CV in English (PDF preferred) — required for review.
• Proven mechanical maintenance or mechanical assembly experience (industrial environment preferred).
• Ability to use hand tools and measurement tools safely (torque basics, tolerances, correct fastening).
• Safety discipline: lockout awareness, guarding rules, and compliance with site procedures.

Strong advantages (increase match score)

• Vocational qualification in mechanics / mechatronics / maintenance or similar.
• Experience with conveyors, bearings, gearboxes, couplings, chains, belts, and alignment basics.
• Basic hydraulics and pneumatics (reading simple circuits, leak detection, safe depressurization).
• Documentation discipline (work orders, checklists, shift handover notes; CMMS familiarity is a plus).
• Basic German (A1–A2) for safety briefings and shop-floor communication.

Short candidate portrait

Signals that you will perform well

• You can explain 2–3 breakdown cases you solved: symptoms, diagnosis steps, final fix, and prevention.
• You work systematically (check basics, isolate the failure, test after repair) instead of guessing.
• You respect safety and never bypass guards, pressure risks, or lockout procedures.

Pay floor, gross rates, timesheets

Germany statutory minimum wage as of 01.01.2026 is €13.90 gross/hour. Skilled industrial mechanics often exceed the legal floor depending on verified competence, shift patterns, and responsibility.

How hours are confirmed

• Daily/weekly timesheets or digital check-in (site-dependent).
• Supervisor confirmation for overtime, weekend work, or call-outs (if applicable).
• Accurate handover notes where shifts overlap (maintenance continuity matters).

Gross pay is before taxes and deductions. Final take-home depends on your tax status, insurance structure, and payroll parameters.

Practical expectations in factories

• Safety-first operations: PPE, guarding rules, and controlled access to production areas.
• Fast reaction during downtime events; calm diagnostics is valued more than speed alone.
• Clean work zones and professional handover to the next shift / lead.
• Documentation: short, factual notes prevent repeat failures and support planning.

Prepare these before applying

• CV in English (PDF) + phone/email + current city/country
• Passport scan (main page) + validity check
• Certificates and licenses (mechanics/mechatronics, safety, forklifts if you have them)
• Short project list: factories/lines, dates, tasks, tools, breakdown examples
• Reference contacts (optional but valuable)

A strong mechanic CV includes

• Equipment types (conveyors, packaging machines, pumps, gearboxes, compressors, automation peripherals).
• Repairs you actually performed (bearings, chains, couplings, seals, alignment, preventive checks).
• Safety behavior (LOTO awareness, guard rules, controlled restart routines).

Strong documentation reduces verification time and improves response rates.
