Industrial administrators support operational and commercial processes. Their tasks are very wide-ranging. They include ordering processing and purchase, as well as sales tasks and customer care, marketing and advertisement, production, warehousing and logistics, finance and accountancy, controlling, human resource management and administration. Industrial administrators work together in a team with peer colleagues that share a similar educational background but also with other high skilled and auxiliary commercial staff members and have contact to customers and suppliers.

The main task of textile technicians consists in ensuring a seamless production flow. To make this possible, they operate, adjust and overhaul textile machinery. Moreover they verify the manufacturing process and manufactured fabrics since faults in the fabrics are indicators of failures in the equipment. Furthermore they possess the skills to ensure, coordinate and optimize the material flow (raw and source materials) for the manufacturing process. Textile technicians maintain and service the machines and possess the skills and abilities to complete minor repair work. They verify the correct motion of the machines; they remove dust, dirt, grease and oil from the deposits, gear wheels and other components and replace damaged elements and wear parts such as brake linings and pads.

Electrical engineering technician set up power supply units and energy distribution systems for control, measurement, regulating and drive technologies. Their task also includes putting the machines into operation, and their installation, supervision and maintenance. Moreover they prepare, lay and connect bare and insulated cables and wires. They also create clamp and solder plug connections according to the circuit documentation (assembly schedules, circuit diagrams and installation plans). They are also required to constantly check, repair, and if necessary replace pneumatic, electro-mechanical and electronic components and subassemblies according to the circuit documentation. They manufacture and if necessary replace devices and spare parts for operational equipment. In some cases electrical engineering technicians are also responsible for the preventive and continuously maintenance and service of the utility service facilities (light, electrical power supply, air conditioning systems).

This 7-year program starts with a very complete and successful technical education in our company.

At Sattler AG we offer following apprenticeship programs which are suitable to combine with the “Industrial technician” education:
Electrical engineering technician, Mechanical engineering technician, Textile chemist, Textile technician.

After successfully completing an apprenticeship, a conversation regarding further job opportunities takes place. During this conversation we discuss different aspects based on objective success criteria (results during the apprenticeship program at school and in the company) and subsequently together we choose an adequate education path and sign a new training contract.

The education program to achieve a degree as “Industrial technician” comprises two modules:

• Industrial technician examination Part 1: Strengthens specialized knowledge (business management examination, apprentice trainer examination and master craftsman’s examination) Duration: approx... 2 years (part-time program)
• Industrial technician examination Part 2: Includes the „Matura“(school leaving certificate)/vocational examination Duration: approx. 1 ½ years (part-time program)

After the completion of both examinations you obtain the   „Industrial technician“degree.   

As technical assembler you will be able to use PVC and natural textile panels to assemble e.g. tarpaulins, awnings, oil trays or scaffold cladding.

To achieve this, you learn how to cut the textile panels to size using true-to-scale drawings. You will sow the panels together either by hand or with machinery, or conjoin them by welding or gluing.

In addition, you will properly attach accessories, such as fittings, straps, eyelets or wire ropes. Other tasks include the maintenance and repair of assembled products.

• Cutting
• Surface joining
• Finalization
• Pre-assembly and repair
• Quality control

You will accept goods of all kinds and check them for quantity and quality based on the transport documents.

As specialist for warehouse logistics you will be asked to organize the unloading and sorting of goods and then store them appropriately in the allocated spaces. In doing so you make sure that goods are stored under optimal conditions, e.g. by controlling temperature and air moisture.

For outgoing goods, you design delivery rounds and find the ideal shipping method. You commission deliveries, pack goods, and write transport papers such as a bill of lading or a custom declaration. In addition you ensure the loading of trucks, containers or railway wagons, operate a forklift and secure cargo to prevent shifting or leakage.

Other tasks include the optimizing of the internal flow of information, material and values, from acquisition to sales. You will find sources of supply, compare offers, order goods and see to their payment.

The calculation of warehouse key figures, inventory work and the drafting of simplified annual accounts are other tasks you will be able to master.

• Goods acceptance and control
• Goods storage
• Commissioning
• Packaging
• Loading
• Shipping
• Optimizing logistics processes
• Calculating and evaluating key figures
