Manufacturing at Rheinmetall in Kiel

As a skilled worker, you will find excellent working conditions and special benefits at Rheinmetall in Kiel. The long-term prospects and job security will also convince you.

In our prototype construction department, you will work on the development and series production of defence vehicles from Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH. And you will be working at eye level with our engineers! You will bring all your knowledge as a mechanic/mechatronics technician (M/F/D) to bear to master the challenges of building a newly developed vehicle. We will train you thoroughly before you will act independently. No working day is like the other. As an expert for the newly developed vehicle, you will accompany it on national and international trials and at trade fairs.

In our electrics/electronics production, we produce technologically sophisticated assemblies for our vehicle systems, especially in the areas of wiring, control electronics and power distribution. The spectrum of your new tasks ranges from prototypes and qualification to the production of a small series. We ensure our high quality standards through 100 percent testing of all components on test benches developed in-house. We want to continue to develop future technology in-house and have therefore just set up SMT production for circuit boards.

In addition to the usual internationally valid quality management standards, our production is also certified according to the NATO standards AQAP2110 and AQAP2210.

What else do we offer?

Great small-scale and large-scale technology, monthly pay-scale salary of over EUR 3,000 plus vacation pay and Christmas bonus, many benefits such as company sports and profit sharing, and great coworkers.

After four years in manufacturing, two in testing and qualifying as a state-certified technician, I knew that I wanted to work as a project planner. At my old company, there was no demand for this position in the next few years. I value a secure, social and fair workplace in a maritime environment and this took me to Rheinmetall Landsysteme in Kiel. I was welcomed by a young and motivated team and settled in quickly.

What do your days look like?

I work in work preparation for electronic components. My day-to-day jobs include processing and preparing work plans and parts lists, maintaining the change process, creating time and quantity structures and optimizing production processes. I also get to do many interesting tasks related to restructuring and optimizing production areas.
