Engineering Technician Apprentice

The apprentice will collaborate with our software to transform a plan from paper into the software, then proceed to the CNC machine to run the program and compile all the parts, ensuring they are prepared for the next step in the production process.

Role

  • Each day will bring new experiences, as it is situated in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment
  • The apprentice will spend time on a computer, training and gaining knowledge about the various units and compartments
  • They will take physical plans and digitize them using the computer
  • Following this, they will send these plans via email to trade customers, including all necessary drawings and summaries of doors
  • After the customer has approved and signed off on the project, they will prepare the required documentation for the factory
  • A kit list will also be compiled for the job, specifying the amount of board that needs to be ordered
  • It is essential to follow a board and tape management system during this process
  • The apprentice will then operate the CNC machine to manufacture the job, making it ready for assembly
  • This will involve edging the job with an edge bander
  • Ultimately, they will transfer the job to the next production stage for assembly

Training

  • The apprentice will be based in the factory 4 days a week and in college one day a week
  • There is an opportunity for a full-time job after the training is complete
