Engineer Apprentice

You will be responsible to the Workshop Manager, Senior Process Development Engineer and the resident Machine Tool Fitters who will oversee your work and help with teaching fitting and machining techniques.

The role will include working with state-of-the-art machine construction systems but will also require working on less glamorous aspects of machine assembly and process development.

You will be taught how to split millimetres into nanometres (1,000,000th of a millimetre) and see that displacement on a machine movement using laser equipment. You will be taught how to measure geometry and displacements. You will be taught how temperature affects the shape of materials and how this in turn affects the accuracy of the displacements. You will also be taught how these problems are overcome. You will be taught what effect different tools have on different materials, how to produce complex shapes in glass, metal and ceramics and change process parameters to produce the desired component. You will be expected to modify components using lathe, milling machine, grinder, pillar drill, hand drill, etc. For Machine Build you will work as part of a team which will include the Machine Designer, the CAD Draughtsman, the Project Manager, the Tool Room Machinist and other skilled Machine Tool Fitters. Your input to problem solving will always be considered. For Process Development you will work with the Senior Process Development Engineer and help liaise with customers on component specifications. Most of the machines will be bespoke / one off special products, designed to solve a problem for an end user.
