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 as a Trainee Workshop Engineer:

- 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 for the successful Trainee Workshop Engineer:

- 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.
