An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our Engineering team at Laser Additive Solutions, we are an Advanced Engineering company specialising in the following laser processes: welding, cutting, hardening and 3D metal printing. As an Apprentice you will be involved in research, development and production work for a wide range of sectors.

The role can be varied and typically may include (but is not limited to):

• Putting together project plans, liaising with suppliers and ensuring all work is carried out on time for customers
• Working with customers using online meetings, by phone, email and in person
• Reverse engineering, using non-contact measuring systems and specialist computer software, to produce electronic models of parts. These then feed into the CAM programming
