FAQs

Here you will find some questions about your work at SPALECK. If you still have questions, just write to us.

We provide training to meet our own needs. If trainees perform well both on the job and at vocational school, our clear goal is to hire them after they complete their training.

Since SPALECK has a broad range of operations—both as a supplier and in its own mechanical engineering division—there are various career paths available after completing an apprenticeship—whether as a specialist in the welding shop, in the final assembly of large-scale systems, or later through further training in workshop management or quality assurance.

As a fabrication mechanic, you’ll mainly work in our production facilities. Since metal is cut, bent, welded, and ground here, a certain amount of noise and dust is unavoidable.

To protect your health, we provide you with a full set of personal protective equipment. In addition to standard work clothes, this includes professional hearing protection, safety glasses, and fume extraction systems at the welding stations.
