About half the time is spent in the workshop, the other part fitting, designing and obtaining supplies. The apprentice would be involved in all aspects of the work, from negotiating with suppliers and analysing pricing structures to designing the details of projects and finding the best ways of using tools and machinery. The applicant should be of above average strength and fitness, have some manual and design skills and be a non-smoker. A sense of organisation, numeracy and the willingness to take on appropriate responsibilities would be an advantage, as would instincts for visualisation and improvisation. The work is quite physical with a great deal of lifting etc.
Most machinery has the potential to be lethally dangerous, so safety procedures are paramount.
