Maximilian Fries | Apprentice industrial mechanic

Dear Maximilian Fries, before we start: We are delighted that you are sharing your story!

Thank you very much. I hope that my impressions can help others who are considering doing their training with us, because I can only recommend it.

How did your path with us begin?

I live in Höhr-Grenzhausen, so I've known Steuler as a good training company for a long time. So it felt right to start my career there and begin my training as an industrial mechanic in 2023.

What was one of the moments when you felt you had really arrived?

One of those moments was when I came back from the training workshop in Koblenz after six months.

It was a great feeling to be reintegrated into the team here on site and to realize that people like to see you again.

Would you say that this personal interaction is what makes the Steuler community what it is?

Definitely. The shared lunch breaks and the good cooperation with helpful colleagues contribute significantly to a strong sense of community.

You can tell that everyone here is there for each other.

How have you already progressed in your development?

On the one hand, I've already been able to acquire a great deal of specialist knowledge and the practical relevance in particular is a great asset. Because I feel so comfortable in the team, I also notice that I am developing personally.

Once again, I have learned how important teamwork and communication are, and these skills are constantly being promoted.

What makes you particularly proud of your personal path?

I am proud to be learning a solid trade with a future. It's nice to know that I'm working in a business that is important and where I have a long-term perspective.

And we are proud to be able to accompany you on this journey. One last question: what about your path did you not expect when you started with us?

Before I started my apprenticeship, I had a rough idea of what to expect in my day-to-day work as an industrial mechanic. After just a short time, I realized that the work is much more in-depth than I expected.

I would never have thought that my job would be so varied and demanding, and that makes it all the more interesting for me.

We are very pleased to hear this and thank you for the interview and your openness. Thank you for being part of Steuler!

This personal story is one of many special people who have made Steuler what it is today.
