Kick-start your engineering career with an Assembly Apprenticeship at Evac Chair

Learn practical assembly skills, work with an experienced team, and gain a Level 2 Engineering Operative qualification. If you're reliable, enjoy hands-on work, and want to earn while you learn, this is a great opportunity to start your engineering career.

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

What you'll do at work

• Assemble evacuation chairs and related products following company procedures and quality standards.
• Learn to safely use a range of hand tools, equipment, and assembly techniques.
• Work alongside experienced colleagues to build practical engineering and manufacturing skills.
• Carry out quality checks to ensure products meet the required standard before dispatch.
• Receive, check, and store deliveries while learning effective stock control procedures.
• Help maintain a clean, safe, and organised work area using 6S principles.
• Follow health and safety procedures and ISO quality standards at all times.
• Work as part of the assembly team to meet daily production targets and customer requirements.
