This role is ideal if you’re leaving school and looking to start a hands-on career rather than staying in the classroom full time. Your day will be a mix of practical work and learning, with plenty of support from experienced engineers who will guide you every step of the way.
On a typical day or week, you’ll be learning how to use workshop machinery, helping to set up and operate manual and CNC machines, and assisting with assembling and finishing precision-engineered parts. You’ll be shown how to check parts for quality, follow engineering drawings, and work safely in a professional engineering environment.
You’ll also attend college as part of your apprenticeship and have regular reviews to help you build confidence, develop new skills, and track your progress. Over time, you’ll take on more responsibility as your knowledge grows, working towards becoming a fully qualified Mechanical Engineering Technician.Training:Beyond your day-to-day workshop tasks, you’ll get extra training to help you build skills for your long-term career. This includes learning about health and safety, quality standards, teamwork, and problem-solving—skills that aren’t tied to a single machine but are important for every engineer.
You’ll also get coaching on using tools, understanding engineering drawings, and working efficiently, plus opportunities to attend short courses or workshops on things like CNC programming, CAD/CAM software, or specialist finishing techniques.
Regular reviews and mentoring sessions will help you track your progress, set goals, and grow your confidence—so you’re learning both the technical and “career-ready” skills that will make you a great engineer.Training Outcome:This apprenticeship is your first step into an exciting engineering career. Once qualified, you could move into roles such as CNC Programmer, Production Engineer, Quality Technician, or Senior Technician. As you gain experience, there are opportunities to become a team leader, supervisor, or specialise further in areas like CAD/CAM, precision finishing, production planning, or quality management.Employer Description:PCML has been creating precision metal parts for over 20 years. We work with industries like motorsport, defence, medical devices, and cutting-edge technology, turning ideas and prototypes into real, working products. Across our sites, we have approximately 110 employees and around 68 machines, including 2 robot loaders and a 32-pallet automated milling machine, giving you the chance to work with some of the most advanced equipment in the industry.
At PCML, you’ll be part of a team that values learning, innovation, and teamwork. You’ll get hands-on experience, learn from skilled engineers, and see your work used in real-world projects that make a difference. We invest in our people, offering opportunities to develop skills, take on responsibility, and grow your career.Working Hours :Monday to Thursday 07:30- 16:15, Fridays 07:30- 15:00Skills: Communication skills,IT skills,Attention to detail,Organisation skills,Customer care skills,Problem solving skills,Presentation skills,Administrative skills,Number skills,Analytical skills,Logical,Team working,Creative,Initiative,Non judgemental,Patience....Read more...
