Alloyed is a world leader at producing digital metal components. We are a young venture-funded company of around 200 world-class metallurgists, mechanical engineers, technicians, and software developers. The company's additive components division is growing rapidly in response to high demand from customers including Boeing, Anglo American and Rolls Royce.

As an apprentice you will learn every stage of the manufacturing process, from component production through to heat treatment, machining, surface treatments and metrology. You will produce complex components which can only be created using 3-d printing for major customers in aerospace, automotive and electronics (this could include high-end sports cars, VR headsets, aerospace engines, rocket nozzles and more).

As well as the production stages, you will also learn how to maintain and calibrate key equipment and manage stock. There will also be opportunities to contribute to continuous improvement (CI) projects to help Alloyed meet the changing demands from engineering teams.

You will experience all aspects of a manufacturing environment, developing key project management skills transferrable to any career, and you will be seen as a vital member of the Alloyed team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic, practical-minded individual looking for an apprenticeship and career in engineering to help make a meaningful impact in the cutting-edge field of additive metal components.
