Posted on Jul 16, 2025
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Your mission: As Workshop Lead, you’ll shape the backbone of our shopfloor operations. You ensure smooth daily workflows by creating clear structures, clean standards, and a smart system toolkit for the teams. You lead by example, work hands-on, and hold both production and development teams equally accountable.
  • Design the workshop setup: You define the layout and structure of the shopfloor – including labelling systems, workstation concepts, and safety briefings.
  • Build systems & standards: You develop clear routines for workshop organization, tool and resource management – from grinding paper to lifting gear.
  • Ensure safety & cleanliness: You make sure safety rules are followed and every workstation is always “visitor-ready.”
  • Guide & support: You onboard colleagues to machines, offer practical tips, and ensure equipment is used correctly and responsibly.
  • Manage space & tools: You coordinate storage and assembly zones and help adapt workstations based on team needs.
  • Act as a key interface: You bring in your expertise, gather input from team leads, and implement standards together – hierarchy-free and hands-on.
YOUR PROFILE
  • Technical background: Training in a workshop-related field such as metalworking, mechanics, or electrical – e.g. fitter, technician, electrician.

  • Practical experience: You know your way around shopfloor operations and understand what works in day-to-day manufacturing.

  • Confident presence: You speak up when needed, take responsibility, and bring natural authority to the role.

  • Hands-on mindset: You think in solutions, act pragmatically, and enjoy making things better.

  • Structured & active: You create order without red tape – and don’t hesitate to roll up your sleeves.

  • Languages: You speak excellent German and English – and use both confidently in a workshop setting.

WHAT WE OFFER
  • Creative freedom & responsibility: Autonomy, scope for decision-making and short implementation paths.
  • Culinary variety: Lunch together with fresh, varied dishes every day.
  • Attractive additional benefits: Choose between Deutschlandticket, EGYM-Wellpass or a monthly top-up payment card (Givve Card).
  • Knowledge exchange at the highest level: Work with experienced engineers and experts from the aerospace industry.
  • Dynamic environment: Exciting projects, development opportunities and a start-up atmosphere with agile, cross-functional collaboration.
  • Community & team spirit: Monthly blackout events for socialising, networking and exchange.
  • Unique working atmosphere: Enjoy the end of the working day on our large roof terrace with a view of the Alps!
