Apprentice Programs

After a first look at your application, you come to Jenbach for half a day: a short entrance test (Lehrlingscheck) and a conversation of about 15 to 30 minutes.

Yes. Ask for a trial day at lehre.jenbach@innio.com.

There is no deadline, but applying in the winter before your September start gives you the best chances. You can apply before you finish your ninth year of school.

Nine years of completed compulsory schooling, fluent German, and authorization to work in Austria.

The apprenticeship runs together with Waukesha County Technical College, and your tuition, books, and school costs are covered. You need a high school diploma or GED, or you must complete your high school education by the graduation deadline specified in the current posting.

Student and Graduate Programs

You apply online on our job platform to one of our current internship or co-op postings. We review your application, and you meet us for one or two interview rounds. Then we make our offer.

Depending on the role, we look for university students or graduates with authorization to work in the respective country. Internships are full time and last at least six months, with an option to extend. You can start at any time of the year. In Austria and the U.S., summer internships are possible too. Questions go to careers@innio.com.

For our long-term internships in Budapest, you need active student status at a Hungarian university, ideally with six to 12 months of studies left. You also need fluent English. Students from outside the EU need a residence permit for studies. You can apply and start at any time. Questions go to hu.recruitment@innio.com.

The internship runs 10 to 12 weeks, from late May or early June to late August. We look for rising sophomores and juniors with a GPA of 3.0 or higher and U.S. work authorization.

A bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, applied computer science, or materials engineering, a GPA of 3.0 or higher, and U.S. work authorization. The program runs two years, with four six-month rotations, in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Got an idea worth exploring? Let’s talk. We’re always interested in hearing thesis ideas from young talent. University theses are generally connected to our long-term internships, so let us know about your plans in your application and bring your idea along to your interview with the hiring manager.

For HTL diploma theses in Austria, things work a little differently: we post dedicated opportunities for technical thesis projects, usually in late autumn. These are combined with a summer internship of at least four weeks in the following year. Planning to write your HTL diploma thesis with a buddy? Great! Just make sure that both of you apply separately to the job posting.

Working hours and work permits

That depends on your role and location. The job posting can tell you what applies. In most production jobs, you work in two-shift or three-shift models, depending on the team. In our offices, flextime and hybrid work give you flexibility, depending on your role and business needs. Shift details by site are on the location pages.

Most roles start every Monday or at the beginning of a month, depending on availability.

You need authorization to work in the country where the job is located. For internships in Budapest, students from outside the EU need a residence permit for studies. Check the job posting for further details.

Qualifications

Requirements vary by role and country. In Germany, relevant electrical or mechanical training, a Class B driver’s license, and German-language skills may be required. In Austria, roles may also require English-language skills. In Italy, mechanical training is relevant, with electrical qualifications and experience preferred for some positions.
