Apprentice CNC Machinist

The aim of the apprenticeship program with Manthorpe Engineering is to train people to become skilled machinists within their chosen field who can then build a successful career within the company.

To achieve this the apprentice will be paired with an experienced machinist who will ensure their skills and knowledge are developed alongside their college based training.

This process will involve on the job training and will include setting and operating of the machine to produce components.

This will involve:

Manual Machining on Milling and Turning machines CNC Machining on vertical milling and horizontal turning Deburring techniques Online CNC programming

Once the key machining principles are understood and demonstrated by the apprentice there will be opportunities for progression through to our larger 5 axis machining areas.

Training Outcome:
On completion of the apprenticeship, it is expected that the qualified apprentice will be competent at setting and operating CNC machinery unsupervised (although guidance and training will still be available) We have a graded pay scale to reward further progression reflecting skills and experience The business also has a track record of apprentices progressing to roles other than machining (i.e. manufacturing engineering, sales, etc) as opportunities arise
