Role & responsibilities:
1. TRAINING
Receive training (observing, learning and understanding) in a wide range of skills and processes to enable the setting up and operation of various types of CNC machinery (including automated loaders and robots) utilised in the production of specialist engineers cutting tools while under the instruction of experienced/skilled staff
To be able to demonstrate these skills and processes as the training period progresses by working independently or with a team, to undertake tasks as instructed and increasing overall contribution to the department
Receive training in all aspects of quality/inspection, including reading engineers’ drawings and use of measuring equipment and continue to develop these skills to a high degree of precision
Gain an understanding of surface speed and cutting speed formulae
Understand the relationship between process inputs such as air temperature, coolant temperature, coolant application, grinding wheel condition, work holding condition, work holding setup, machine condition, machine and probe qualification, probe condition, program structure, wheel speed, feeds and depths of cut, and process outputs mainly dimensional control and surface finish of rotary cutting tools
Understand how these inputs can be controlled or mitigated through in process controls
Receive grinding wheel-dressing training
Understand quality and continuous improvement tools such as PFMEA, Control Plans, DMAIC, 5 Why and Root Cause analysis, etc.
2. LOG BOOK
Maintain an up-to-date training log on each activity/skill learned
3. DAY / BLOCK RELEASE
Attend AMRC Training Centre, year 1 on block release, Year 2 and 3 on a day-release basis and successfully complete all relevant coursework / examinations to entitle yearly progression to the minimum award of Advanced Apprenticeship (level 3) “Machinist Advanced Manufacturing Engineer”
4. MAINTENANCE
First line maintenance of machinery and parts; cleaning of machines to ensure efficient running, and to maintain and ensure a good level of organisation and general housekeeping in the workplace
5. OTHER
To always maintain a smart appearance and act in a professional manner, whether on site at Technicut or at AMRC Training Centre
To perform any other duties within capabilities at the request of Team Leader / Supervisor / Production Manager
6. HEALTH & SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT & QUALITY
To observe and follow/adhere to all H&S and Environmental legislation and adhere to company rules, regulations & standards at all times. Including ISO45001, ISO14001 and ISO9001 business processes
Training:You will study on a Level 3 Machining Technician pathway. On completion of this, you will gain a qualification in Engineering at Level 3 standard.
During the first year of the apprenticeship, your learning will take place at the University of Sheffield’s AMRC Training Centre based at Catcliffe, Rotherham, for an initial block of study on a full-time basis. After this, you will attend the Training Centre for one day a week for knowledge study.Training Outcome:Completion of the University of Sheffield’s AMRC Training Centre apprenticeships are nationally recognised qualifications which are acknowledged and respected by employers across the world. These can open the door to many more opportunities, such as Engineering Management and Project Engineering positions across a range of sectors worldwide.Employer Description:Founded in Sheffield in 1987, Technicut has grown to become a global leader in solid rotary cutting tools for the aerospace industry.
