A flying start to your new job
Our plant at the Erfurter Kreuz near Arnstadt has been growing for almost 20 years. N3 now employs more than 1,000 people, all of whom are experts in their field. The fact that their numbers are constantly growing is also due to the career change programme for people from skilled trades. We need qualified specialists to meet the high demand for engine overhauls, engineering and repairs on individual components. We are not only looking for aviation technicians, but increasingly also for former automotive mechatronics engineers, industrial mechanics or machine and plant operators. And, of course, all other skilled trades are also very welcome here – the only important thing is the desire for personal change and a willingness to undergo further training.
We are an employer offering job security, further training, a high-tech working environment, a strong team spirit and excellent benefits. For career changers and people looking to switch careers, we offer not only secure jobs, but also exciting development opportunities in a modern and collegial environment.
Then N3 is the right place for you. We welcome applications from people in all skilled trades, from car mechanics to production workers to quality inspectors. If you are looking for a change, we have the right job for you.
The aviation industry has been booming for years, and our customers are noticing this too. This development creates security and at the same time ensures a growing demand for new skilled workers in the maintenance and repair of aircraft parts.
Our factory is conveniently situated in all directions. The nearby cities of Erfurt and Arnstadt are pleasant places to live, and reliable connections to the N3 motorway, bus and train services, as well as our spacious employee car park, ensure mobility and flexibility.
