Are you a practical, hands-on individual who enjoys variety in your day? We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established engineering business looking for a Trainee Workshop Engineer to join their experienced team.

This isn't a role where you'll be doing the same task every day. Instead, you'll gain experience across a wide range of manufacturing, assembly and engineering activities, making it ideal for someone who enjoys learning new skills and getting involved wherever needed.

What you'll be doing

  • Assembling and fitting a variety of engineered products
  • Using hand and power tools for cutting, grinding and finishing materials
  • Carrying out refurbishment and repair work
  • Inspecting products, panels and components for quality
  • Measuring components using engineering hand tools
  • Preparing, cleaning and maintaining tooling and moulds
  • Stripping down, rebuilding and preparing equipment
  • Cutting, organising and handling materials
  • Assisting with basic fabrication and TIG welding tasks
  • Supporting general workshop and manufacturing activities we're looking for:
  • Previous experience within a manufacturing, engineering or workshop environment
  • A practical, hands-on approach with excellent attention to detail
  • Comfortable using hand tools and measuring equipment
  • Keen to learn new skills and develop across multiple disciplines
  • Reliable with a positive attitude and strong work ethic
  • A couple of years' manufacturing experience would be highly advantageous
  • Exposure to fabrication, welding, machining or CNC equipment would be beneficial, but is not essential

What's on offer

  • Full training and ongoing support from an experienced engineering team
  • Excellent opportunity to develop a broad range of engineering skills
  • Varied role with no two days the same
  • Long-term career progression within a growing manufacturing business
  • Stable, permanent opportunity with a respected local employer you're looking for a varied engineering role where you can continue to build your skills and become a valued member of a supportive workshop team, we'd love to hear from you.
