Apprentice CNC Machinist

Manthorpe Engineering Limited are seeking apprentices to develop their career within our precision machining facilities. Industries we work for include Defence, Nuclear, Aerospace and Power Generation. Utilising the latest technology we manufacture high integrity components and assemblies from a range of materials.

Role

The aim of the apprenticeship program with Manthorpe Engineering is to train people to become skilled machinists within their chosen field who can then build a successful career within the company.

To achieve this the apprentice will be paired with an experienced machinist who will ensure their skills and knowledge are developed alongside their college based training.

This process will involve on the job training and will include setting and operating of the machine to produce components. This will involve;
• Manual Machining on Milling and Turning machines.
• CNC Machining on vertical milling and horizontal turning.
• Deburring techniques.
• Online CNC programming.

Once the key machining principles are understood and demonstrated by the apprentice there will be opportunities for progression through to our larger 5 axis machining areas.

Training

Level 3 Machining Technician apprenticeship standard, including Functional Skills if required.

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, NG17. This attendance is required during term time only.

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

You will experience a blended learning model.

You will gather learning evidence, journals and off-the-job records using your e-portfolio.

At the end of the planned learning period, it will be agreed that you are ready to enter 'Gateway' and for your End Point Assessment to be arranged.

On completion of the apprenticeship it is expected that the qualified apprentice will be competent at setting and operating CNC machinery unsupervised (although guidance and training will still be available). We have a graded pay scale to reward further progression reflecting skills and experience. The business also has a track record of apprentices progressing to roles other than machining (i.e. manufacturing engineering, sales, etc) as opportunities arise.
