Sheffield Forgemasters offers 19 apprenticeships ahead of £400m from MoD
Sheffield Forgemasters is taking on 19 apprentices as it readies for £400m investment from the Ministry of Defence.
The Brightside steelmaker is offering apprenticeships in accountancy, foundry work, machining/production fitting, electrical engineering, metallurgy, steelmaking, patternmaking, project management and business administration.
It comes as the firm looks forward to years of stability after being nationalised to secure its ‘defence-critical’ work. It makes parts for Royal Navy nuclear submarines and claims to be the only UK manufacturer of large nuclear-grade castings and forgings.
