Field of activity
Process mechanics (m/f) in the metallurgical and semi-finished goods industry work in the iron and steel production or non-ferrous metal production fields or in the reshaping of steel or non-ferrous metals to create – and also finish the surfaces of – semi-finished or finished goods. They monitor, operate and control the production plant and carry out maintenance and control operations.
Occupational skills
Process mechanics (m/f) in the metallurgical and semi-finished goods industry specializing in iron and steel metallurgy:
- monitor, operate and control the relevant processes and plant in iron and steel production;
- handle production protocols and process schedules;
- record and evaluate operating data and graphic process control material;
- recognize malfunctions in the production process and initiate measures to rectify such malfunctions;
- carry out tapping operations and deslag the melt;
- carry out post-tapping operations in the ladle;
- prepare and monitor the pouring of the molten iron and steel;
- maintain the production plant and machinery;
- carry out quality assurance measures;
- transport, protect and store materials, consumables and products.
Process mechanics (m/f) in the metallurgical and semi-finished goods industry specializing in steel reshaping engineering:
- monitor, operate and control the relevant processes and plant in iron and steel reshaping;
- handle production protocols and process schedules;
- record and evaluate operating data and graphic process control material;
- recognize malfunctions in the production process and initiate measures to rectify such malfunctions;
- reset reshaping and surface finishing machinery and plant in the event of production changeovers and subsequently recommission the production plant;
- maintain the production plant and machinery;
- carry out quality assurance measures;
- transport, protect and store materials, consumables and products.
