Being a Mechanical Apprentice at Thales, you’ll have a job that matters to us, to you and to everyone. Over our 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. We can provide the challenges and opportunities, all you need to do is bring a willingness to learn!

What can you expect?

• Carry out repairs to electrical/mechanical systems
• Assist in installation of all types of naval equipment in shore and ship borne environments

• Have completed year 10 studies at a minimum
• Have great communication skills and enjoy interacting with different groups of people
