Production Apprentice
The Production Apprentice will develop practical manufacturing skills across the Bridgnorth production areas, with a focus on sheet metal work and electromechanical assembly.

- Work through a structured training plan covering sheet metal processes, assembly processes, safe systems of work, quality expectations and workplace behaviours.
- Seek feedback, ask questions and take ownership of personal development, attendance, timekeeping and learning progress.
