  • Turning the really big wheels

    Being a machine and plant operator, you are one of the most important links in our production chain. You set up the production machines and facilities, put them into operation and carefully monitor the production processes to pick up on any potential malfunctions and then eliminate them. Regularly inspecting and maintaining the machines and facilities is also part of your day-to-day work. As the markets are changing really quickly nowadays, one of your tasks as machine and plant operator is to be able to react to these changes and developments and modify the machinery where necessary or even to think about introducing completely new production systems. Our apprenticeship course to become a machine and plant operator is the right choice for anyone who is interested in technology and looking for a job in which they will be able to further and enhance their skills.

  • Ilias Khouja – machine and plant operator in the 2nd year of his apprenticeship at TSR

    • How did you find out about doing an apprenticeship to become a machine and plant operator at TSR?

      I’ve always wanted to work with my hands ever since I was a small child. Which is why the idea of working as a machine and plant operator appealed to me. I came across TSR while I was looking for an apprenticeship job on the internet.

      What part of your apprenticeship do you like best?

      The shears are my personal favorite. I’m always really pleased when I’m down on the roster to work with these machines – especially when I’m allowed to operate them myself under supervision. Having said that, though, there are many other areas that are fun to work in, for example in the workshop or driving the diggers and wheel loaders. Once I was even able to watch a ship being loaded from a crane 15 meters up in the air.

      Looking back, what is the most memorable thing that you have done during your apprenticeship so far?

      I have loved working with the large machines, diggers and cranes ever since I set foot on the recycling plant. I’ve learned many different things during my apprenticeship so far. Just one example was when I was allowed to join the team that had to repair one of the shredders. It was fascinating to see what the shredder looked like from the inside and how the hammers – which weigh 168 kilos – were replaced.

      So would you say it was a good decision to do an apprenticeship at TSR?

      I definitely made the right decision when I accepted TSR’s offer to do an apprenticeship at its company as I enjoy working outside and am interested in technology and maintenance work. And, of course, the team in Duisburg is great.
