Vocational training as a Technical Product Designer / Machine and Plant Construction (m/f/d) at WIRTGEN

Technical product designers possess the necessary expertise for the definition of the precise shape and dimensions of components under consideration of their later function on the basis of design drawings. They compile corresponding bills of material for the procurement of materials and components. Construction documents are generated with CAD tools. In the specialized context of machine and plant construction, you will visualize components and draft construction drawings to be used in the construction of vehicles, machines, and equipment in the form of 3D models. These also take the essential aspects of control and electrical systems into account. Building on this, you make decisions with regard to the standardization of components and subsequently select the appropriate materials.
