Your training
for a Civil Engineering Designer (m/f/d),
Architecture
Location: "Facility Management" department
In this three-year apprenticeship, we will make you fit in theory and practice!
Structural engineers create drawings and technical documentation for various structures. To do this, they typically work on a computer using CAD software. Based on design sketches or instructions from architects and civil engineers, they produce floor plans, construction and working drawings, elevations, and detailed drawings. In doing so, they adhere to the relevant technical regulations. In addition to drafting, they perform specialized calculations. For example, they determine the required quantities of building materials, create bills of materials, and prepare quantity surveys. They monitor the progress of construction projects and ongoing construction processes and ensure that the necessary documents, invoices, and final accounts are available on time. If necessary, they also prepare planning documents for bids. In addition, architectural drafters manage the various drawing versions for a project and back up the data.
The relevant knowledge and skills are taught during the training at the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer (building management department) and at the vocational school (Kleve district vocational college in Kleve).
For example, the trainees learn at the training company:
- how to use application software to convert data, define and create layers, make drawing presettings and create and manage computer-aided drawings
- how construction processes are carried out, how calculations are made according to building regulations and how floor plans, sections and views are constructed
- what needs to be considered when designing various buildings and constructing them with different building materials, such as structures made of stone, wood or steel, foundations, underpinnings, excavations or trenches
- how to apply contractual and technical guidelines, regulations and information sheets as well as quality assurance instruments
- how to convert design sketches into structural drawings
- how quantity and mass calculations are carried out for tendering, awarding and invoicing
At vocational school, further knowledge is imparted in job-specific learning fields (such as building design planning, building construction, construction execution planning) as well as in general education subjects such as politics/social studies.

- At least Fachoberschulreife
- a good grade point average; especially good math skills
- High motivation, willingness to perform and learn
- Distinct spatial imagination

We offer among other things:
- Qualified, varied, interesting and challenging vocational training
- optimal training support
- Attractive compensation in accordance with the TVAöD (monthly training stipend (gross) in the 1st year of training: €1,368.26; in the 2nd year: €1,418.20, in the third year: €1,464.02)
- all the advantages of public service benefits, e.g. an annual special payment, payment of capital-forming benefits, vacation arrangements well above the statutory minimum vacation entitlement
The pilgrimage town of Kevelaer regularly trains one trainee (m/f/d) in this profession. As a rule, the training position is reallocated every three years (after the previous trainee (m/f/d) has completed their training).
