About this employer
We are a cold roll forming company for the construction industry. Cold roll forming consists of gradually and continuously forming a steel profile. The roll forming process involves passing steel through rolls, each varying in shapes and numbers based on the complexity of the desired steel profile, to progressively transform it to make it into its final shape. Additional processes such as punching, stamping, logo printing, embossing, in-line high frequency welding, in-line piercing and cut to length options can be completed reducing the need for secondary processing. We can tailor make profiles manufactured from steel, aluminium, copper, brass, stainless steel and pre-painted material.
After this apprenticeship
- Full time position with potential for level 4 HNC progression
- Company will allow apprentices to work across all manufacturing and support areas
