Apprentice industrial administrator

Industrial administrators plan, manage and monitor all operational business processes at our company, and there are plenty of those at HanseYachts AG. As you would expect, therefore, our apprentice industrial administrators spend time in quite a number of departments. From procurement and HR to accounting and production planning, as well as sales and marketing, during your three-year apprenticeship with us you will get to know a whole host of departments within our administrative offices.

The work you do will be just as varied as the areas in which you do it. In procurement, you will compare quotations from our suppliers; in sales and marketing, you will help to draw up price lists; while in accounting, you will process, record and check incoming receipts. Are you interested in learning the profession of industrial administrator with us? If so, you should have good mathematics and German skills, and a good command of English. After all, HanseYachts AG is an international company – with exports accounting for more than 80% of our revenue – and employs people from many different countries, which means that some of our communications take place in English. The ability to express yourself clearly is just as important to us as correct spelling.

Every two to three weeks, as part of your apprenticeship, you will attend a teaching module at the Berufsschule für Wirtschaft und Verwaltung, a vocational school for business and administration in Neubrandenburg. You will take your intermediate examination at the start of the second year of the course. Your final examination will consist of two parts. You will complete a final dissertation on an agreed topic and present your findings to the board of examiners of the IHK – the chamber of industry and commerce.
