A recession-proof job in an absolutely future-oriented industry awaits you, combined with performance-based pay that fully reflects your expertise.

03

A regulated base & flexible time off

When you are engineering at our headquarters, you benefit from regular working hours. Should commissioning take longer at times, our overtime account ensures an absolutely fair time-off balance.

Your everyday work with us

From planning to commissioning

As an Electrical Engineer or Electrical Technician (m/f/d), you accompany the creation of our special machines from the first idea to commissioning on the tracks.

5 stepsThis is how your day at L&S moves through engineering, implementation, optimisation and close coordination with the team.
01

Planning & project design

You plan and design the electrical systems and installations for our special machines and railway vehicles from the ground up.

02

Circuit diagram engineering

You create, check and optimise circuit diagrams as well as all the project documentation for the electrical systems.

03

Commissioning & support

You actively support the physical build and the subsequent commissioning of the machines and installations.

04

Troubleshooting & optimisation

During maintenance or modifications, you take charge of structured troubleshooting and repair on control systems and develop clever automation solutions.

You coordinate closely on a technical level with the other departments and support your colleagues with your expertise during worldwide service assignments.

What you bring

Hands-on, solution-oriented, strong in a team

A solid foundation

A completed apprenticeship in electrical engineering, electronics or mechatronics. A degree in electrical engineering is a plus, but not a must.

Practical experience

Ideally experience in control cabinet and plant construction as well as in automation and control technology.

Circuit diagram skills

Working with circuit diagrams – from creation through checking to adjustment – comes naturally to you.

Broadening your horizon

A willingness to travel for exciting commissioning and service assignments at home and abroad, plus usable English skills.

Driving licence

You hold a category B driving licence.

Why this position is particularly exciting

You operate right at the intersection of engineering, hands-on work and international application. Instead of rigid corporate structures, you work close to the machines, the team and real decisions.

  • Short decision-making paths in a family business
  • A direct link to the workshop in Neustadt an der Orla
  • Worldwide assignments with technical depth
  • Express application with no cover letter or CV

Frequently asked questions about the position

How much travel is involved in this position?

The majority of your work takes place at our site in Neustadt an der Orla. The willingness to travel relates specifically to final commissioning at the customer's site or occasional service assignments at home and abroad.

Which software systems do you work with?

In engineering we rely on modern, professional software tools for circuit diagram creation and automation. As part of your onboarding, you will be perfectly integrated into our specific systems.

Can I apply as an experienced technician without a degree?

Yes, absolutely. A completed apprenticeship in electrical engineering, electronics or mechatronics is entirely sufficient if you bring the necessary practical experience. A degree is optional, not a requirement.
