Have you noticed that you enjoy mathematics and physics at school? Would you like to use your practical skills in a technical field related to energy? This is all possible on a training placement in industrial electronics engineering. During your placement with us over one and a half years you will receive fundamental training in many aspects that you will need for your subsequent career. This will also involve our cooperation partners in an area close to the workplace where you live. During your placement at 50Hertz you will get to know the company and the main types of work done by a transmission grid operator - particularly in primary or secondary engineering, involving either substations or overhead power transmission. This involves installation and maintenance of electrical installations, as well as measurement, control, and regulation systems so that you ultimately have the best possible working understanding of our switching and control installations, substations, and transmission systems. After finishing your training, you will have a wide-ranging knowledge, allowing you to obtain further qualifications in various specialist areas, for example as a nationally qualified engineer working at 50Hertz.

We offer training placements for industrial electronics engineers at the following locations:

Güstrow
Berlin
Wolmirstedt
Lübbenau
Bad Lauchstädt bei Halle

I want to start an apprenticeship at 50Hertz and make the energy transition happen!

Would you like to do something to make the energy transition happen, rather than just talking about it? An apprenticeship or dual study programme at 50Hertz could be just the thing for you. We offer a wide range of opportunities for people either finishing their education or transferring from another sector. We see it as a challenge to provide jobs for our apprentices and dual study trainees after completion of their dual study programme or apprenticeship. We, therefore, provide training where needed and offer a different range of training placements and programmes every year. The video features Johanna – an industrial electronics engineering trainee - working at our cooperation partner enviaM.

Towards a successful energy transition in a sustainable world

As one of the four transmission grid operators in Germany, 50Hertz is responsible for high-voltage power transmission; control at this level is decisive for the stability of the grid and to ensure a secure electricity supply in Germany and Europe. We are part of a European grid association, working closely with colleagues throughout Europe. 50Hertz is part of a European company, working alongside Belgian grid operator Elia in the Elia Group. We work together closely in many key areas. Individual activities such as IT or purchasing are organised at the group level, which means that in these areas colleagues from Elia and 50Hertz work in a team from both Berlin and Brussels.
