About the Role
Beaucroft Watches is an independent British watch brand, founded in Cambridge in 2020. Alongside Beaucroft, our sister company, BenchWorks Limited, provides sourcing, prototyping, assembly, and after-sales support to Beaucroft and other British watch brands.
As we continue to grow, we're looking for an exceptional individual to join our six-month Watchmaker Trainee Programme, located in Midhurst West Sussex.
No previous watchmaking experience is required. A background in a technical, engineering, or practical field would be an advantage, but we're much more interested in your ability, attitude, and willingness to learn.
Over six months, you’ll receive hands-on training in the essential skills needed to become an Assembly Watchmaker, working alongside our experienced team. Successful completion of the initial six-month programme could lead to a full-time position as an Assembly Watchmaker.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Your training will include:
- Watch assembly and component handling
- Basic watchmaking theory
- Correct use and care of precision tools
- Developing hand skills and dexterity
- Identifying and resolving issues independently
- Quality control and inspection
- Learning and consistently achieving the exacting standards our clients expect
This is a hands-on opportunity to learn a highly skilled craft from the ground up and build a career in the watch industry.
What We're Looking For
You don't need to be a watch expert. You do need to have:
- Excellent hand/eye coordination and manual dexterity
- A methodical and analytical approach
- Exceptional attention to detail
- Patience and the ability to concentrate for extended periods
- A willingness to learn and develop new skills
- The ability to work carefully and consistently as part of a small team
