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.

  • 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
