Apprentice Employee Apprentice Automotive Specialist EFZ - Commercial Vehicles Sector 2027 - Commercial Vehicles Sector 2027

🔧 Passion instead of standard. With us, you don't learn to tinker on just any car – you learn on trucks, buses and vans, the vehicles that keep Switzerland running every day. From brake testing to the fifth wheel coupling: Your apprenticeship with us is anything but standard.

Gebr. Knecht AG combines tradition with the future: For over 100 years we have been a successful family business and since 2024 part of the Thomann Nutzfahrzeug Gruppe with a total of eleven locations throughout German-speaking Switzerland.

🛠️ This is what you will learn with us:

• Inspection, maintenance and repair of commercial vehicles such as trucks, buses and vans
• Testing of gearbox, clutch and drive systems
• Assessment of brakes on the brake tester as well as inspection of fifth wheel coupling, trailer hitch and bodywork
• Replacement of electropneumatic parts and electrical/electronic components
• Direct customer contact: Clarification of orders together with your supervisor or directly with the customers
• The truck driving test is part of your training – we are happy to participate in the costs

✅ This is what you bring with you:

• Completed compulsory schooling and passed aptitude test of the Autogewerbeverband AGVS
• High technical understanding and joy in tinkering
• Exact, careful way of working and logical thinking
• Reliability, team spirit and desire to roll up your sleeves
• With very good school performance: Interest in the vocational baccalaureate school (BM 1) parallel to the apprenticeship

🎁 This is what your apprenticeship with us offers you:
🚛 Real variety instead of passenger car routine: Trucks, buses, vans – you get to know a range of vehicles that other training companies do not offer in this way
🏫 Driving test included – we cover your 15 practical driving lessons
📈 Perspective after the apprenticeship: shortened additional apprenticeship to Automobil-Mechatroniker/in EFZ possible
🤝 Personal support by our well-coordinated training team during the entire apprenticeship period
🔩 Workshop at top level: modern lifting platforms, diagnostic devices, short distances to spare parts
🎟️ Exclusive employee discounts within the Knecht-Gruppe – from mobility to travel to services

🤔 Why us – and not another training company?

Commercial vehicles instead of just passenger cars: With us, you learn on trucks and buses from the very beginning – not just after the apprenticeship
100 years old, but no standstill: We are not an anonymous large corporation, but an owner-managed family business – here people know you by name, not just as a personnel number
Training is lived with us: We have been training apprentices for generations and know exactly how to make it easier for young talents to enter
A team that stays: Our long-standing employees speak for themselves – short distances and a family-like atmosphere are not just clichés with us
More than an apprenticeship: Via the Knecht-Gruppe, paths to Eurobus, Welti-Furrer and other sister companies are open to you after completion

We look forward to your application documents.
