Learning to safely operate specialist equipment, including overhead cranes
Following engineering drawings, process instructions and overhaul manuals
Working to strict health, safety, environmental and quality procedures
Building your practical experience and technical knowledge through structured on-the-job training
What we’re looking for
We’re particularly interested in people who are practical, mechanically minded and keen to build a career in engineering.
You could be a good fit if you have:
Some previous exposure to an engineering, mechanical, workshop or production environment
Confidence using hand tools or working practically with mechanical components
A genuine willingness to learn a skilled engineering trade
Good attention to detail and the ability to follow processes and instructions
A strong approach to health and safety
Good communication and teamwork skills
GCSE-level education or equivalent

Total package of up to £32,500
4 on, 4 off shift pattern
Full technical and mandatory training provided
