Are you inspired by challenging the status quo? Do you thrive in collaborative environments that drive results? If so, Gates could be for you.
Gates is a leading manufacturer of application-specific fluid power and power transmission solutions. We push the boundaries of material science to engineer solutions that continually exceed customer expectations.
Let's simplify it… think belts and hoses. Found in motorcycles, conveyor belts, cars, tractors, blenders, vacuum cleaners, bicycles, & 3D printers just to name a few. Because why not do it all?
We are offering a 6-year apprenticeship in either Mechanical or Electrical Maintenance which is inclusive of further education to HNC/HND level in the relevant discipline.
We also offer competitive Apprenticeship rates as well as the opportunity to join a fast-moving, highly technological industry where the opportunities available are dependent on the commitment and enthusiasm of the individuals.
