MWM offers energy solutions based on high-performance gas engines, used in highly efficient combined heat and power (CHP) plants for decentralized energy generation. Our customized cogeneration power plants and integrated solutions support our customers in making their energy supply efficient, flexible, and future-proof. In 1871, Carl Benz laid the basis for MWM by founding the “Mechanical Workshop“ in Mannheim. Today, the MWM brand is part of Caterpillar Energy Solutions and combines more than 150 years of experience in the development and optimization of gas engines and generator sets for natural gas, biogas, and other special gases.

We will teach you the profession-specific knowledge and the world of gas engines from the ground up.
From your side, we are looking for solid fundamentals, openness, and strong motivation!

• Performing planned maintenance and inspection tasks on gas engines and district heating plants (following comprehensive training).

• Administrative tasks: preparing professional reports, protocols, and documentation related to completed work.

Your profile:

• High motivation and strong work ethic:
  As a junior, your enthusiasm is your biggest asset. You should be open to learning new technologies and take a proactive approach to tasks.

• Willingness to travel and flexibility:
  The role involves frequent travel (approx. 70%) within Hungary and across neighboring countries (e.g. the Balkans, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Austria, Poland).

• Valid Category B driving license and confident driving skills.
