What you would do

We are looking for an Apprentice Product Design & Manufacturing Engineer to join our small team and learn how a product goes from an idea on a screen to something being used by customers around the world. This is not an apprenticeship where tasks will be repetitive. You will be exposed to the whole manufacturing process.

Day to day

Working alongside experienced members of our team, you will gradually learn areas including:

  • CAD and product design
  • Technical drawings and tolerances
  • Product development and prototyping
  • 3D printing
  • CNC machining
  • Machine setup and manufacturing processes
  • Engineering materials
  • Measuring and inspection equipment
  • Quality control
  • Assembly and finishing
  • Testing new products and prototypes
  • Production planning
  • Stock and component management
  • Packaging and distribution

As your ability develops, we want you to become increasingly involved in developing and improving real TrigJig products.

What you would study

Engineering and manufacturing support technician (level 3)

This programme is delivered via a day release delivery model which means that one day per week, your attendance is required at our Engineering Campus. This attendance is required during term time only.

You will work with expert assessors and tutors to develop new knowledge, skills and behaviours within the profession.

You will experience a blended learning model.

Please note: This is an apprenticeship vacancy, and the advertised closing date is provided as a guide only. The employer wishes to review applications and interview suitable candidates as they are received. As a result, this vacancy may close earlier than the advertised date if a suitable candidate is identified or if a high volume of applications is received. We therefore encourage interested applicants to apply as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

Training provider: WEST NOTTINGHAMSHIRE COLLEGE

Working week

Monday - Friday 8.30am - 4.30pm.

What you need

  • GCSE English at grade 4-9 or equivalent (essential)
  • GCSE Maths at grade 4-9 or equivalent (essential)

Skills they are looking for

  • Communication skills
  • Attention to detail
  • Organisation skills
  • Analytical skills
  • Logical
  • Team working

After the apprenticeship

We are not looking for somebody simply to complete an apprenticeship and leave.

Our aim is to develop you into a skilled member of the company with the ability to work across:

Product Design → Prototyping → Manufacturing → Quality → Assembly → Production

As your skills, responsibility and contribution increase, your pay will increase too.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to build a long-term career inside a small British manufacturing company where you can genuinely see the products.
