Applied Training Programme
At JK Engineering, we are committed to investing in our trainees, to enable us to build a strong team for our future, and to drive innovation. That's why we offer an Applied Training Program that can help you to develop your skills, while preparing you for a successful career in engineering with us!
We truly believe that fresh perspectives and innovative ideas are crucial to driving progress within the engineering industry. As we continue to develop cutting-edge solutions for our clients, we need young engineers who can create new ideas and develop fresh approaches.
We believe that young engineers will always make an invaluable addition to our team. They tend to be creative, curious, and eager to learn. They are comfortable with new technologies and often become early adopters of emerging tools and techniques. In fact, ten of our existing full-time technical staff started as trainees with us.
As a trainee at JK Engineering, you will have an opportunity to work on a variety of projects and collaborate with our senior and more experienced engineers. You will have access to the latest tools and technology and will receive ongoing support and mentorship.
Precision engineering is certainly at the glamorous end of engineering! No messy tools, no dirty engines, while working in a pristine environment. We manufacture critical components for F1 cars, Aerospace, satellites, the Medical Industry and even for robots. Our trainees learn how to make complex parts out of exotic metals like titanium and aluminium, using an array of highly advanced CNC machine tools.
If you are already a young engineer who is passionate about innovation and are eager to learn, then we would encourage you to apply now for our Applied Traineeship Program. To do so, click the ‘ENQUIRE HERE’ button below, and please remember to attach your CV with details of your experience to date and any qualifications, and also provide some additional notes on why you are interested in working with JK Engineering.
We can't wait to hear from you!
Q & A
What can I expect?
A Traineeship can be a great opportunity, not only to start earning, but also to gain valuable skills and experience while operating in a real-world working environment. By enrolling in our Applied Traineeship Programme, you will receive hands-on training, with expert mentorship, while working alongside highly experienced engineers on live projects. You will also learn how to become self-motivated and to remain focused on your career goals.
You can expect to spend time working within a range of departments. We want to find out which one best fits your potential and also suits our own business needs. After a period of 2-3 years, you will have gained a huge amount of valuable experience while acquiring skills in a range of engineering disciplines.
What will I be doing?
As a trainee, among your responsibilities, you will be required to contribute to the manufacturing of precision-engineered components that meet industry-leading standards, while under the supervision of our experienced engineers. You will learn how to operate state-of-the-art machinery and use sophisticated CAD/CAM software. Part of your duties will also be to help to maintain our company’s pristine factory environment, to ensure that it can run as efficiently as possible.
Sounds great, but how do I know if engineering is really the career for me?
Ultimately, the best way to know if engineering is the best career for you is to come and try it out for yourself! Get in touch with JK Engineering and we will be happy to facilitate a tour where you can see our technology in action. You can also talk to many of our engineers who have developed their own careers with us after starting off originally as trainees.
