Job description

Engineering Apprentice / Trainee – Hands-on Learning Opportunity!

Join the Engineering Team of this reputable company based in St Leonards.

Are you someone who enjoys making, building, fixing and understanding how things work? Do you have a genuine interest in engineering and a desire to learn practical skills?

This is an exciting opportunity for someone at the beginning of their career to learn from experienced engineers, develop valuable practical skills and gain first-hand experience working with a wide range of equipment, machinery and metalworking techniques.

You will work alongside the team of engineers, learning on the job and getting involved in the day-to-day activities.

What we're looking for;

More than anything, we are looking for the right attitude. Someone who is:

  • Willing to listen, take direction, ask questions and learn from others.
  • Enthusiastic, hardworking and keen to develop new skills and make the most of the opportunity.
  • Conscientious, switched on, practical-minded and takes pride in the quality of their work.

You should be someone who:

  • Turns up on time, is reliable and has a positive attitude.
  • Enjoys working with their hands and has an interest in making and building things.
  • Takes care over their work and understands the importance of doing a job properly.
  • Is neat, organised and conscientious.
  • Is curious, interested and eager to understand how things work.
  • Is receptive to feedback and willing to learn from experienced people.
  • Wants to invest in themselves, develop their abilities and build a future in engineering.

Experience isn't everything – attitude is.

You don't need to know everything already. What matters is that you have the enthusiasm, work ethic and willingness to learn. We can help you develop the skills; you need to bring the right mindset.

If you're practical, curious, motivated and excited by the idea of learning a skilled trade in a real working engineering environment, we'd love to hear from you.

Come and learn a craft, develop your skills and build something for your future!

We endeavour to reply to all applications, however, if you haven`t heard from us within 7 days, you have been unsuccessful with this particular role. You are very welcome to apply to future advertisements placed by Grafters Recruitment Consultants / Grafters Accountancy Personnel.
