Automotive Mechatronics Technician EFZ - Commercial Vehicles Division

🔧 Passion instead of standard. With us, you don't wrench on an assembly line, but on what moves the region: buses, coaches, trucks. Every day a different vehicle, a different fault, a different challenge that only you can solve.

For over 100 years, Gebr. Knecht AG has been a reliable partner in terms of commercial vehicles, construction machinery, bodywork, and lettering. Owner-managed, family-oriented, at four locations in Switzerland and since 2024 part of the Thomann Nutzfahrzeug Gruppe with a total of eleven locations throughout German-speaking Switzerland.

🛠️ Your tasks:

• Fault finding & diagnosis on buses (powertrain, electrics/electronics, brakes, chassis, air conditioning, doors)
• Disassembly, repair, and replacement of components according to manufacturer specifications
• Use of diagnostic devices, circuit diagrams, and service software (OBD/CAN)
• Calibration, final inspection, safety check, and test drive
• Documentation of your work, spare parts management, and preventive maintenance

✅ Your profile:

• Completed training as Automobilmechatroniker/in EFZ Nutzfahrzeuge or equivalent qualification
• Enjoyment of diagnosis, technology, and getting to the bottom of things
• Independent, precise way of working – just as strong in a team as alone
• Driver's license Kat. B required, Kat. C/CE an advantage
• Solution-oriented, structured way of thinking and high quality standards

🎁 What we offer you:
🚍 Career with perspective – develop yourself further with us or move within the Thomann Nutzfahrzeug Gruppe or the Knecht Gruppe

🤔 Why us – and not another company?
100 years old, but no standstill: We are not an anonymous large corporation, but an owner-managed family business – decisions are made here, not somewhere in a headquarters.
Versatility instead of a one-way street: Commercial vehicles, construction machinery, bodywork – with us, you get to know more than just one vehicle category
Growth with perspective: We are expanding – you don't step into a finished operation, but help shape it.
A team that stays: Our long-standing employees speak for themselves – short decision-making paths and a family atmosphere are not just clichés with us
More than a job: Via the Knecht-Gruppe, paths to other Thomann companies, Eurobus, Welti-Furrer, and other sister companies are open to you if you want to reorient yourself later.
