Apprentice Automotive Specialist EFZ - Commercial Vehicle Sector 2027 - Commercial Vehicle Sector 2027

🔧 Passion instead of standard. With us, you don't learn to wrench 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.

🛠️ 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 bodies
• Replacement of electro-pneumatic parts and electrical/electronic components
• Direct customer contact: Clarifying orders together with your supervisor or directly with customers
• The truck driving test is part of your training – we are happy to contribute to the costs

✅ What you bring with you:

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

🤔 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 they 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 get started
A team that stays: Our long-term employees speak for themselves – short distances and a family atmosphere are not just clichés with us
More than an apprenticeship: Through the Knecht-Gruppe, paths to Eurobus, Welti-Furrer and other sister companies are open to you after graduation
