About the Role

We're a team of remarkable people achieving an extraordinary mission: keeping the nation safe and secure.

Our work is critical. We are responsible for delivering the next warhead for the UK's nuclear deterrent; working at the forefront of nuclear technologies that keep the nation safe.

Our support for the government's strategy takes many facets: from supporting the weapon programme for the nuclear deterrent, supporting the UK's counter terrorist programme, identifying where there may be nuclear tests taking place around the world, and building an expert group of individuals in order to give the UK real depth in nuclear science and technology.

As a Mechanical Maintenance Apprentice, you will learn the basics of hand tools then move onto learning the operations of various machines such as milling machines, pillar drill and lathes.

You will gain a variety of skills including setting up rigs, maintenance and set up of basic pipe fittings, and making crank sets.

Other skills will include disassembling and reassembling equipment such as vacuum pumps, Ogden pumps and calorifiers.

You will also learn how to make gaskets, pipework (which you will also pressure-test), and re-build gearboxes.

During your apprenticeship, you will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of mechanical maintenance tasks, including working on steam leaks and fixing pipework, ultrasound surveys, vibration analysis, and working in the trial assembly & disassembly of explosives.
