Fabricator Welder Apprentice

Intelect (UK) Limited; Middlesbrough; On-site; Full time

Job description

Since 1998, apprenticeships have been the building blocks of the Intelect workforce, and have continued to be for over 25 years as we have grown and progressed as a business. When it comes to apprenticeships, Intelect’s ethos has always been ‘train to retain’, and as such, we are now renowned for our award-winning program, gaining both local and national recognition and ranking 29th in the government’s Top 50 SME Apprenticeship Employers.

Our Level 3 Fabricator Welder apprenticeship is a three-year course, which includes both hands-on and college training.

This role requires the candidate to provide full commitment to a 37.5 hour week. Day to day work will involve reporting to your supervisor and supporting with various fabrication and welding tasks, either in our workshop or out on our client’s sites, which are situated across the UK. Whilst you can expect to do some welding, the majority of what you will be taught will be more fabrication focused.

All apprentices will be provided with their own uniform and toolbox when they start. They will also receive additional on-going training, covering various aspects of health and safety to ensure they have the latest knowledge and information to hand.

Starting rate for the first year of the apprenticeship will be £7.55 per hour, however this will increase on a yearly basis in line with our apprentice pay structure – this will be discussed with candidates at the interview stage.

We are looking for someone with the following experience and qualifications:

1. Minimum grade 4 for English and Maths required.
2. Driving licence advantageous.
3. Previous work experience desirable but not essential.
4. Strong interest in fabrication and welding.
5. Good attendance and timekeeping.
6. Ability to meet deadlines.
