Production worker in Leoben (m/f/d)

Looking for an attractive job with long-term prospects? Want to make a fresh start, develop your skills or work in an international industrial environment?

Then this position could be exactly right for you!

Career changers are very welcome. Specific training in production is not required. What matters is that you are reliable, willing to learn, interested in technology and work carefully.

Your chance: even without production experience!

Have you worked in a different field so far and want a change? Or would you like to gain your first experience in production?

That is possible! You will be trained in your tasks and learn the work steps involved.

Many tasks follow clear procedures and can be learned well with attention, practice and a careful way of working. The work still requires concentration, a sense of responsibility and the willingness to follow safety and quality rules.

You don’t need to know everything from day one. What counts is that you are reliable, want to learn new things and follow the work instructions.

Your tasks in production

You work in a modern production environment in Leoben-Hinterberg and, together with your team, help keep production running smoothly.

Your tasks include:

• Operating and monitoring machines and production equipment.
• Supporting a smooth production process.
• Carrying out stamping work according to work instructions.
• Visual checks of product quality.
• Carrying out measurements and quality inspections.
• Following work, safety and quality instructions.
• Working with colleagues and team leaders.

You will learn each task during your induction training. A precise and responsible way of working is important so that production and safety requirements are met.

What you should bring

• An interest in technology and a basic technical understanding.
• Reliability and a sense of responsibility.
• A precise and careful way of working.
• Willingness to work in a five-shift model.
• Willingness to work in a cleanroom.
• German good enough to communicate in everyday work.
• Being able to arrive on time for each shift in Leoben-Hinterberg.

German at B1 level can be enough if you understand work instructions, can ask and answer questions and can communicate with your colleagues and team leaders.

Your German does not have to be perfect. You don’t need to speak without an accent or understand the Styrian dialect. What matters is that communication works and you understand important instructions.

English is an advantage but not a requirement.

A car of your own is helpful but not essential. Public transport can be an alternative. Please check whether the connections fit your actual shift times.

You receive a monthly gross salary with a planned increase after the first three months:

• First 3 months: EUR 2,782.90 gross per month.
• From month 4: EUR 2,914.77 gross per month.
• 14 salary payments per year, in line with the applicable terms of employment.

The 14 payments generally include holiday and Christmas pay under the applicable rules.

All amounts are gross. Your actual net pay depends on your personal tax and social-insurance situation.

Why Leoben?

Leoben combines modern industry, international education and nature in Upper Styria.

• Career prospects: the region offers jobs in production, industry, engineering, laboratories, quality assurance and logistics.
• International environment: the university and internationally oriented companies make for a diverse town.
• Education and family: there are various schools and education options, including bilingual schooling. Admission depends on the school and the places available.
• Nature and leisure: the river Mur, cycle paths and the surrounding mountains offer plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling and hiking.
