Being an Apprentice at Thales, you’ll have a job that matters to us, to you and to everyone. Over the 4-year program you will have the chance to learn the technicalities of your trade at school and then apply this to a supportive environment whilst you learn on the job.

As a sheet metal worker, you will work as part of a team that are responsible for the majority of the interior finish work on naval vessels. You will help make shipboard bunks, lockers, stowage bins, furniture and hand rails to name a few things.

Here are some of the key skills you will learn:

• Performing basic welding (MIG, TIG and Stick)
• The safe and proper use of battery, electric and air power tools
• The interpretation of quality documents, drawing, work instructions and references.
