Your apprenticeship at Teufelberger

We stand for creative freedom, sustainability, and a respectful, family-like work environment in which we continue to learn from one another, day after day. Our successful family-managed group is well-known for upholding these values as an apprentice-training business and reputed for our unique product solutions: from the suspension ropes of the Westring Bridge in Linz to the climbing ropes used in ascending the Eiger North Face, and to secure package strapping.

 

Expertise and experience. Your apprenticeship at Teufelberger

...is more than just “work & vocational school”.

Our apprentices will be actively involved in our operations from day one and will also be managing their own projects.

Within the framework of the Climate Checkers Project, our apprentices developed a recycling concept that involves collecting PET bottles all around our premises. From these bottles, PET material is recovered by a recycling firm which is then processed into plastic strapping in our manufacturing facilities.

Upper Austria’s Environment and Climate Councilor Stefan Kaineder visited our company in person to inspect this amazing project launched by our “climate checkers”.

How to launch your career with Teufelberger

These three small steps will take you to your goal:

1. Get to know us and come for a taster session.

Would you like to join us for a taster session or do you have any questions? Then simply contact Barbara Riess at Barbara.Riess@teufelberger.com

2. Send us your application. How to make it count!

Send us a handwritten CV, letter of application and the semester and annual reports of the last two years. You can upload the documents here in the course of your application or apply per mail to Barbara.Riess@teufelberger.com. 

Can I apply even if I dropped out of school?
Yes! At Teufelberger, we give you the benefit of the doubt and a chance, even if you do not have a school-leaving diploma.

3. Check in & get going! What your first days at Teufelberger will be like.

At the end of August, before embarking on your apprenticeship, you will be invited to come along to the “Apprentice College”. There, you will spend a day with our team of apprentices in order to get to know them.

All new apprentices start their apprenticeships on September 1 of the respective year. The first day serves as a welcoming day, which kicks off with a breakfast for all new apprentices and our trainers. Afterwards, you will be informed about how things work at our company, what you should keep in mind, and what you will be doing during your first days at work. We have stylish company-issued work clothes for apprentices, which will be handed out to you on your first day. And we will also show you around our two manufacturing facilities on our Vogelweiderstraße premises.

You will discuss your training plan with your trainer, and, during the first few weeks, an apprentice buddy assigned to you will assist and support you in your day-to-day work.
