Your Apprenticeship at SPALECK
Technical Understanding of Modern Systems
Your Introduction to the World of Mechatronics
Are you interested in technology and want to understand how mechanical parts and electronic controls work together? In the mechatronics technician training program at SPALECK, you’ll learn how to turn individual components into fully functional systems. Not only will you assemble the mechanical components of our screening systems, but you’ll also handle the wiring and commissioning of the control systems.
What do mechatronics engineers do in mechanical engineering?
As a mechatronics technician, you are responsible for ensuring that the mechanical and electronic components work together seamlessly. You assemble the electrical components and sensors in our machines. After installation, you’ll commission the completed systems, test the software functions, and ensure that the equipment runs smoothly through regular maintenance and troubleshooting.
Here’s what to expect during your training
To ensure that our equipment runs smoothly, you’ll start by learning the basics of metalworking and how to read technical drawings and circuit diagrams. Throughout your training, you’ll become a well-rounded professional: You’ll learn how to wire assemblies, set up electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems, and program control systems. You’ll assemble our machines from the ground up, commission them yourself, and ensure that every detail is just right when they’re shipped to our international customers.
Here's what you should bring to the training program
If you combine technical skills with an interest in electrical engineering and enjoy working on complex systems that must function flawlessly—both mechanically and electronically—you’ll be a perfect fit for our team.
If you have any questions about jobs, training, internships, or college, our colleagues in Human Resources will be happy to help you.
Here are some questions about the mechatronics technician apprenticeship. We’d be happy to advise you on other options.
We train people to meet our own needs. If your performance is strong and you get along well with the team, we’re very interested in hiring you as a permanent member of our mechatronics team after you graduate.
You’ll be working directly on our screening machines and conveyor systems for the recycling industry. These aren’t assembly-line products, but rather custom projects for each client that present new technical challenges every time.
We strike a balance between the two. You’ll start by learning the basics of metalworking, but then you’ll dive deep into electrical engineering, pneumatics, and control systems. The goal is for you to be proficient in both fields by the end.
