Work placement semester in planning, design engineering, project management and cost estimating
During your work placement semester you work on real projects in our planning office - from the enquiry to the handover on stage or at the exhibition.
Who we are
Since 1994, hertzer GmbH has been planning and building stage sets, exhibitions and art projects - from the first draft to installation on site. Everything is made under one roof in Berlin-Pankow:
- Planning office - planning, design engineering, cost estimating and project management
- Joinery - timber construction for stage, exhibition and art
- Metalwork - steel and metal construction, base structures, custom builds
- Paint and assembly hall - surfaces, scenic painting and pre-assembly
For students of the Berliner Hochschule für Technik (BHT) on the Theater- und Veranstaltungstechnik (theatre and event technology) programme, we offer a direct insight into practice: you see how a drawing becomes a finished stage set.
Your areas of work
- Planning: developing designs and technical drawings and finding solutions together with set designers, artists and designers
- Design engineering: engineering scenery, base structures and special builds in timber and steel, including shop drawings
- Project management: accompanying projects, coordinating with clients and workshops, scheduling and supervising installation
- Cost estimating: helping to prepare quotes, calculating materials and effort
