Job overview

We offer you the chance to embark on an Engineering Modern Apprenticeship in Welding and Fabrication.

The Modern Apprenticeship (MA) isn't just about clocking in hours - it's about seizing the opportunity to earn nationally recognized qualifications while earning a wage. We're seeking apprentices to join us in Invergordon, Highlands, where you'll dive headfirst into a comprehensive program that combines formal education with hands-on learning.

What awaits you?

Hands on Experience

From the moment you step through our doors, you'll dive headfirst into real-world projects. Our experienced mentors will work alongside you, guiding you through every weld and fabrication technique, ensuring you develop the skills needed to become a master craftsman.

State of the Art Tools

Get acquainted with the latest welding technology and equipment in our workshop. From classic welding methods to cutting-edge automatic welding machines, you'll have everything you need to hone your skills.

Path to Progression

Your journey with us is just the beginning. We're committed to helping you grow both personally and professionally. Whether you aspire to become a welding expert, pursue specialised certifications, we'll provide the support and resources you need to succeed.

Structured Learning

Successful candidates will spend the first year of their apprenticeship at college, working to the curriculum and assessment requirements of the local education provider.

Upon completion of the first year, successful candidates will transition to a full-time framework of on-site learning created by CRC Evans. This will allow candidates to integrate more thoroughly into the business, ensuring they receive dedicated training and mentoring relevant to the business, whilst also completing required college assessments through either day release or in-company assessment methods.

As part of our team, you'll have the exciting opportunity to travel within the UK and potentially beyond, allowing you to broaden your horizons and experience different cultures while advancing your career.
