Entry Level Aerospace Technician

About the Role

You'll join Stoke's new Kent facility as an Entry Level Aerospace Technician, growing alongside the team while assisting with a variety of tasks across the organization. You will support the operations and manufacturing groups while learning new skills in machining, fabricating, assembly, and other manufacturing disciplines at an up-and-coming aerospace manufacturing company. You'll receive dedicated mentorship from highly experienced technicians and 1:1 training on a multitude of industrial processes in a safe and friendly working environment. This position runs for a 36-week period split into three 12-week phases, with advancement considered at the end of each phase and full-time employment considered at the end of the 36 weeks. Your first three months will be spent in a support function, supporting the operations and facilities departments. With measured success, you will graduate into a technical function, choosing one of two technical pathways: assembly or fabrication. You will then spend six months, in two three-month rotations, learning new technical skills with the manufacturing teams, each rotation providing you with tools, training, and a mentor to aid your success.
