Jobbeschreibung

Your mission

The short version: What's this about?

We build and operate pilot plants for a new process to produce green methanol – a climate-friendly fuel. For that, we need someone who gets hands-on, thinks along, and knows their trade.

No serial production, no assembly line. Instead: varied work on research plants, your own workshop, and a team of technicians, engineers and chemists working together as equals.

Your tasks – specifically

• Look after plants: Build, modify, maintain and repair pilot plants – pumps, valves, piping, sensors
• Run your own workshop: Your area, your responsibility – from organisation to tool procurement
• Metalwork: Tube bending (1/8\"–3/4\"), fittings (Swagelok & similar), minor machining work
• Electrical work: Run cables, swap components, check electrical connections
• Operate plants: Start up, monitor and document chemical pilot plants according to instructions
• Maintenance & inspection: Follow maintenance schedules, spot faults, repair or replace small components
• Safety: Work safely with pressurised systems and chemicals, following all health, safety and environmental regulations

Your profile

What you should bring:

• Completed vocational training as a mechatronics technician, industrial mechanic, plant mechanic, process mechanic or equivalent
• Hands‑on experience with pumps, valves and piping systems
• Basic knowledge of electrical engineering (wiring, reading circuit diagrams)
• Careful, reliable way of working
• Willingness to learn new things – no two days here are the same

Nice to have – not required:

• Experience with instrumentation & control (I&C) or PLC systems (e.g. Siemens S7)
• Practice in tube bending and reading isometric drawings
• Experience with Swagelok, Hylok or Fitok fittings
• Knowledge of handling hazardous substances (toxic or explosive gases)
• Experience in research, pilot plant or laboratory environments
• Electrical switching authorisation

Why us?

What we offer

• Pay: Competitive salary + opportunity to participate in our employee ownership programme (real shares, not just nice words)
• Variety: Every day is different – research plants, not production lines
• Autonomy: Your own workshop area, your own decisions
• Development: Want to learn PLC programming? Get a welding certificate? We'll support you.
• Flexibility: Childcare closed, plumber coming, personal appointment? We'll find a solution.
• Purpose: The process you help build is designed to make a real contribution to climate protection. If that matters to you – even better.
• Team: Flat hierarchies, short communication lines, no "we've always done it this way"

We welcome applications regardless of gender, origin or background – full-time or part-time.
