Things to Consider

Future Prospects
We are looking for people with a genuine interest in manufacturing and engineering, and hope that your post-apprenticeship career with us will be in this area. This may be a role in our factory, or could be a move to a field service engineer role, or a related office-based position (such as supply chain or manufacturing engineering). We have previous apprentices who we have supported as they continued their academic qualifications to Bachelor's and Master's level.
