We specialise in manufacturing analytical and precision instruments across the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.

We’re looking for driven and enthusiastic people to join our Engineering Fitter apprenticeship programme, starting in September 2025. You will have the opportunity to gain practical workplace experience alongside classroom-based learning, all while earning a salary!
The Programme
Both mechanical and electrical apprentices will follow a similar training pathway, which includes exposure to departments such as Stores, Production, Quality, and Manufacturing Engineering. You will have the opportunity to rotate throughout the factory, acquiring the skills and knowledge about the processes involved in constructing our products.
