Energy and environmental technician (HF): Overview of schools and information
As a qualified energy and environmental engineer HF (formerly qualified technician HF energy and environmental engineering), you promote renewable forms of energy - as plants or systems with high energy efficiency, as sustainable processes and in the interests of environmental protection. Their work focuses on the development, construction and implementation of renewable energy sources and energy-efficient renovations. The planning and commissioning of energy-efficient plants and systems for harnessing energy sources such as water, sunlight, wind, geothermal energy and biomass is becoming increasingly important, making energy and environmental engineers sought-after professionals. The degree course in Energy and Environmental Technology HF is aimed at people with an EFZ in the mechanical, electrical and metal industry, in the electrical installation trade or in construction and building technology or a high school diploma and at least one year of professional experience in the desired field. In addition to an interest in the subject, you should also have teamwork and communication skills, leadership qualities and a systematic and solution-oriented way of thinking for the three-year part-time course.
Tipps und Entscheidungshilfen für die Ausbildungswahl
With the Energy and Environmental Technician HF course, you can obtain a federally recognized diploma to take on a central role in environmental and energy technology.
As an energy and environmental engineer HF, you take care of the planning through to commissioning and the resource-efficient operation of energy systems and plants. Depending on the location, photovoltaic systems or wind and hydroelectric power plants are used. Identifying and rectifying faults is just as much a part of the job as measuring energy balances and making optimization proposals.
The Energy and Environmental Technician HF course covers the following topics:
- Ecology
