Apprenticeship & Internship

Are you a real #TechFreak? A #DeskHero, #ManOfSteel or #Computertekkie? Are you fascinated by how a milling machine works or do you like #HighVoltage? Then FOOKE is the right place for you!

As a family business, we have been combining innovation and precision craftsmanship for over 100 years and are represented worldwide with branches in the USA, Japan and China.

Have you ever wondered how the design of cars such as Porsche, Mercedes, Audi, Ford and BMW is created? Our machines play a crucial role in this! Or did you know that up to 90% of high-speed trains in China are manufactured on our machines? The side walls, roofs and floor assemblies are machined to the highest precision on our machines, which are up to 90 metres long.

Aviation also offers you exciting insights: our machines mill the outer skin of aeroplanes to reduce weight - a technology that Airbus uses to fly even more efficiently. And we are at the forefront of motorsport: parts for Formula 1 racing cars, such as Lewis Hamilton's, are produced on our machines.

 

 

With our headquarters in Borken and around 200 employees, we offer you the opportunity to start an apprenticeship on 35,000 m² of factory premises and 18,000 m² of production space, which is challenging but also really fun.

Precision Mechanic (m-f-d)

#MenOfSteel

PROFILE: Hard as steel!

Precision Mechanics are men of steel – still kind and sensitive. When I decided to apply for an apprenticeship at FOOKE, my skills matched the profile:

  • Interest in metalworking
  • Enthusiasm for precision
  • Technical understanding
  • Enjoy craft activities
  • Like working in a team
  • Good spatial perception

 

TASKS: High-precision!

I had no idea, how many parts an ENDURA® is built of. Today I know the answer – and I can even make some of them myself! That’s exactly what I do: As a precision mechanic, my job is to produce precise components. From the planning of the individual working steps, to the assembly of entire modules or a whole machine based on assembly drawings. But the coolest part is to build yourself the components on CNC machine tools – accurate to the micrometer!

My activities are diverse: e.g. machine bed welding, programming of CNC-controlled milling machines and component machining, turning, milling.

JOB: Quality craftsmanship!

The combination of manual tasks and modern technologies is what I like the most about the job as precision mechanic:

  • Programming CNC-controlled machine tools
  • Producing individual parts of steel and other metallic materials
  • Manufacturing plastic components
  • Turning, milling, drilling and grinding
  • Manual production of components and workpieces
  • Final function checks and optimizations

APPRENTICESHIP: Specializing!

Do you want an interesting job? All we need is the basic school graduation with qualification (Hauptschulabschluss mit Qualifikation). After only 3,5 years of dual training at FOOKE and the professional school, you can proudly call yourself “Precision Mechanic”. You can even deepen the training in the field of mechanical engineering – and become a real specialist. After the apprenticeship continue your education to become mechanical engineering technician or mechanical engineering master.

  • Open interaction with people
  • Enjoy technical works
  • Like drawing
  • Enjoy working on the PC

TASKS: Electrifying!

It’s fascinating! An electronics technician for automation and systems engineering is not a string-puller but a real specialist. Every day I emerge in a world of computer controlled automatic machining systems, machine tools and building technology installations.

Here at FOOKE I can contribute new ideas: starting with the first draft to the implementation. Electronics technicians build and optimize whole systems, machines and installations - from the first test run to the safe operation condition. Including error documentation, analysis procedure, and troubleshooting. Often in English.

 

JOB: Fascinating!

In these areas nobody can beat us, because this is what distinguishes electronic engineers:

  • Planning systems, installing, programming and testing
  • Analyzing functional correlations
  • Configuring sensors, electronical controls and machine components
  • Setup software, networks, bus systems and machine components
  • Troubleshooting and maintenance
  • Check electrical protection measures and safety equipment
  • Customer support including maintenance and repair of electronic devices

 

APPRENTICESHIP: Thrilling!

After only 3.5 years of dual vocational training at FOOKE, I could call myself an electronic technician – to a fair salary and other advantages.

Can’t wait for it? It would be great if you had an intermediate educational level (Fachhochschulreife). Are you in?
