We manufacture some of the world’s largest steel castings and forgings, ranging from 1 to 350 tonnes. You don’t need to be a metallurgist expert to know that is really big and really heavy! When it comes to steel production anything that’s heavy and technically complex is where we add real value to our customers. We produce a wide range of products for mills and presses, nuclear, defence, power generation, offshore oil and gas and materials processing industries. It is this diversity of products that allows us to offer a number of different opportunities across our business. Check out our website for more information and images of the exciting work we do here. We have a long and established history within Sheffield spanning over 170 years…. In 2021 we were acquired by the Ministry of Defence (MOD). This has given our business a new focus, marking an exciting and monumental time for our future. We have also secured over £400m of new investment over the next 10 years to support our defence-critical assets, including plans for a new heavy forge line and building, a flood alleviation scheme and major machine tool replacements. There really is no better time to join us!
Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship and competency review, it would be expected the individual will move into a full-time role.
The role focusses on maintaining strong technical control within the forge, providing support to Operations, Projects, Commercial and Inspection teams, and assisting with critical stages of the manufacturing process, including forging and heat-treatment activities involving hot metal. You will help arrange mechanical testing, create and review process procedures, mark out test material, raise test orders and ensure all technical documentation is accurate and controlled.
The position involves supporting customer orders through effective project coordination, liaising with clients both on-site and off-site, and working closely with other departments to organise inspection visits and manage contractor interactions. You will contribute to technical reviews of customer enquiries, generate NCRs and CARs, and attend departmental and customer meetings as required. As part of your development, you will also provide input into new product and process improvements while ensuring all work complies with Health & Safety and environmental standards. This role requires strong attention to detail, a proactive approach to problem-solving and a commitment to learning within a highly technical and fast-paced environment.
Monday to Friday 7:45am till 4pm, may include some evenings depending on production.
