How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: certified copy of your identity document or smart card plus trade test certificate plus N-certificates.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Prospecton; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Write your trade and trade test year first, then the machines you know, like "Filling lines, pumps, gearboxes".
  • Expect a practical test. Measure twice and work cleanly, because the assessor watches your habits as much as the result.
