Apprentice CNC Programmer

In the role, you will build expertise in Computer Aided Design, Computer Aided Manufacturing and CNC programming within a heavy-engineering environment, ensuring high-quality, efficient and safe
production. Through structured training and hands-on experience, the apprentice will learn to contribute effectively to engineering workflows while consistently promoting strong Health & Safety standards.
You’ll be creating precise technical drawings using CAD software and developing CNC programmes through CAM tools to support the Rolls Division with high-quality digital models and machining instructions. The role involves learning how CAD and CAM connect to real-world machining in a heavy engineering setting, and working closely with engineers and machinists to ensure all designs and programmes meet production needs. You’ll contribute to safe, efficient and high-quality
manufacturing through accurate design and programming, while maintaining strong Health & Safety standards and challenging unsafe behaviour when required. As you progress, you’ll build your skills
through hands-on training and structured learning, taking on additional responsibilities as your capability grows.

Training Outcome:

Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship and competency review, it would be expected that the individual would move into a full-time role.

Employer Description:

We manufacture some of the world’s largest steel castings and forgings, ranging from 1 to 350 tonnes. You don’t need to be a metallurgist expert to know that is really big and really heavy! When it comes to steel production anything that’s heavy and technically complex is where we add real value to our customers. We produce a wide range of products for mills and presses, nuclear, defence, power generation, offshore oil and gas and materials processing industries. It is this diversity of products that allows us to offer a number of different opportunities across our business. Check out our website for more information and images of the exciting work we do here. We have a long and established history within Sheffield spanning over 170 years…. In 2021 we were acquired by the Ministry of Defence (MOD). This has given our business a new focus, marking an exciting and monumental time for our future. We have also secured over £400m of new investment over the next 10 years to support our defence-critical assets, including plans for a new heavy forge line and building, a flood alleviation scheme and major machine tool replacements. There really is no better time to join us!
