Construction mechanic

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Construction mechanic is the designation of a state-recognized training occupation according to the Vocational Training Act .

The job title was first introduced with the ordinance on vocational training in industrial metal professions of January 15, 1987 . Several forerunners from the locksmith profession have been combined, including the locksmith. Changes were made with ordinances of June 10, 1996 and July 9, 2003, in which the job description was redefined.

Construction mechanic has been a mono job since this job description was reorganized on August 1, 2004 ; Subjects were still possible before the change. To date, these have also been listed in the examination certificate or journeyman's certificate. By changing to a mono occupation, a differentiation into a certain specialist area is no longer possible!
