Apprenticeship in Toolmaking

**Polypipe Building Products** is one of Europe’s largest and most innovative manufacturers of plastic piping water and climate management systems delivering engineered solutions that enable a sustainable built environment.

We have an outstanding record of training and retaining apprentices in long-term, full-time employment. In fact, several members of our management team started their Polypipe careers as apprentices.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an apprentices to undertake a structured training program of academic and on-site training to develop into a qualified Toolmaker.

You will be given hands on training in the manufacture, modification, repair refurbishment of injection mould and extrusion tooling and will be supplemented by a suitable training course at the AMRC Training Centre, part of the University of Sheffield.

The successful applicants must have achieved a minimum of 5 GCSE grades ‘4’ to ‘9’ or suitable equivalent including Mathematics and English. Have a natural interest in machinery, be able to work well within a team but will also be expected to take the lead as you continue to develop. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are critical, as is an eye for detail and a logical approach to problem solving.

Pay will be commensurate with experience and will progress throughout the training course and reflect achievement towards the recognised qualification. Both roles are based at our site at our Mason Pinder site, Thorne, Doncaster.
