Your benefits at L&S

  1. Exciting high-end projects

    You work on technically demanding, custom-built systems for rail and railway vehicles. Every machine is one of a kind – there is no boring series production here.

  2. Secure job & performance-based pay

    A recession-proof job in an absolutely future-oriented industry awaits you, combined with performance-based pay that fully reflects your expertise.

  3. A regulated base & flexible time off

    When you are engineering at our headquarters, you benefit from regular working hours. Should commissioning take longer at times, our overtime account ensures an absolutely fair time-off balance.

  4. Individual onboarding & development

    We will not throw you in at the deep end. You receive thorough onboarding tailored to you, along with continuous opportunities for personal and professional development.

From planning to commissioning

  • Planning & project design

    You plan and design the electrical systems and installations for our special machines and railway vehicles from the ground up.

  • Circuit diagram engineering

    You create, check and optimise circuit diagrams as well as all the project documentation for the electrical systems.

  • Commissioning & support

    You actively support the physical build and the subsequent commissioning of the machines and installations.

  • Troubleshooting & optimisation

    During maintenance or modifications, you take charge of structured troubleshooting and repair on control systems and develop clever automation solutions.

  • Team interface & service

    You coordinate closely on a technical level with the other departments and support your colleagues with your expertise during worldwide service assignments.

Hands-on, solution-oriented, strong in a team

  • A solid foundation

    A completed apprenticeship in electrical engineering, electronics or mechatronics. A degree in electrical engineering is a plus, but not a must.

    Ideally experience in control cabinet and plant construction as well as in automation and control technology.

  • Circuit diagram skills

    Working with circuit diagrams – from creation through checking to adjustment – comes naturally to you.

  • Broadening your horizon

    A willingness to travel for exciting commissioning and service assignments at home and abroad, plus usable English skills.

  • Driving licence

    You hold a category B driving licence.

Frequently asked questions

How much travel is involved in this position?

The majority of your work takes place at our site in Neustadt an der Orla. The willingness to travel relates specifically to final commissioning at the customer's site or occasional service assignments at home and abroad.

Which software systems do you work with?

In engineering we rely on modern, professional software tools for circuit diagram creation and automation. As part of your onboarding, you will be perfectly integrated into our specific systems.

Can I apply as an experienced technician without a degree?

Yes, absolutely. A completed apprenticeship in electrical engineering, electronics or mechatronics is entirely sufficient if you bring the necessary practical experience. A degree is optional, not a requirement.
