Your apprenticeship at ELA

Metalworkers specialising in construction technology manufacture and assemble roofs, façade elements, gates, window frames or protective grilles made of steel or other metals. You often make one-off pieces to customer specifications. You follow technical drawings when working and processing light metals or steel by hand or by machine. You cut metal plates, tubes or profiles, cut them to size and shape them. Then you weld, rivet or screw the individual components together. During on-site assembly, you also install locking and security systems and, for example, mechanical, hydraulic and electric drives for gate or sun protection systems. You also maintain and service their products.
