Combining theory and practice: your perspective at VERBUND

Apprenticeship in Surveying Technology

You're interested in an apprenticeship that could take you all over Austria? Even into the high mountains and to rivers, dams and reservoirs?

With an apprenticeship in Surveying Technology, you're up close and personal with our country's energy supply. In the areas surrounding our power plant facilities, you will carry out various kinds of complicated measurements. Movements of the structures and changes in the riverbeds are recorded, evaluated and graphically portrayed as part of surveying technology. To do this, we use surveying instruments such as a tachymeter, surveyor's level and echo sounder. Care, maintenance and calibration of the respective tools are also some of your responsibilities.

Dual apprenticeship in Lab Technology (Chemistry) and Chemical Engineering

With this dual apprenticeship you will learn two professions at once within four years.

Your entrance into the working world will start like this: You work in a modernly equipped test laboratory which specialises in monitoring and maintaining high voltage technology facilities. Here you will learn chemical-physical analysis and will learn to interpret measurement results and to derive solutions from them.

In Lab Technology (Chemistry) we will train you to examine the chemical and physical properties of various materials with modern analytical instruments. We do this partly with classic laboratory processes and partly with computerised devices and automated analysis systems.

In Chemical Engineering you will learn to understand chemical processes in industrial plants, to monitor them and to take appropriate measures for safe operation. You will take samples for monitoring intermediate and final products and pass them on to company chemical laboratories for evaluation. You will carry out simple chemical or physicochemical analyses and calculations yourself.
