Thilo“I’m drawn to the challenge”

Thilo shows how you can grow beyond yourself at TKMS. At 18, he started his apprenticeship at the shipyard and then completed two industrial master craftsman qualifications in metal and mechatronics. Soon after, he pursued a part-time degree in mechanical engineering and took the next career step as a plant engineer. His recipe for success? Cleverly combining practical work and studies—such as through a thesis project at TKMS.
