Stefan Rath – from apprentice to maintenance planner
He began his apprenticeship as a mechatronics technician at Magna Steyr in 2002. At the time, there were many excellent reasons for applying to Magna Steyr: a positive environment, technology, the fascination for automotive vehicles, supplementary training options and opportunities for internal promotion. After completing his apprenticeship with outstanding success in January 2006, he initiated his career path in the Maintenance department. Two years later, he switched to the Planning division, where he played a part in numerous projects as deputy group leader. His professional highlights included the management of projects abroad – e.g., in China, Malaysia and England. Since the summer of 2016, as maintenance planner, Stefan Rath has been working on the constant advancement of maintenance – keyword: Industry 4.0 – coordinating the work of more than 40 employees.
Waldemar Hiebler – from apprentice to process planner
At the age of 22 and having graduated from a Higher Education School, Waldemar Hiebler did not match the profile of a typical apprentice. For him, however, training as a mechatronics technician was the perfect opportunity to pursue his passion for technology with a focus on actual practice. When he got a chance to become a part of Magna as an apprentice, he was overjoyed. After completing his training in 2017, he joined the Engineering department as a maintenance engineer. Today, Waldemar Hiebler is a salaried employee. As a work scheduler and process planner, his tasks cover a wide range of activities. His field of responsibility ranges from Excel programming tasks (VBA) to the creation of safety documentations for robot cells all the way to tasks in the area of CAD designs.
