A Career Path With Purpose and Growth

Many young people dream of a career that not only helps them grow but also contributes to something meaningful. The FLS Apprentice Programme gives applicants a chance to be part of a company that believes in building technology that improves the world. FLS helps industries create products and processes needed for a future that is greener, smarter, and more sustainable. Their focus is on real solutions that improve daily operations, reduce waste, and support new advancements in engineering.

At FLS, apprentices do not just learn the trade. They become part of the company’s long-term mission.

Who You Will Work With

Working in a Global and Diverse Environment

Successful applicants will join the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) mining team. This department includes people from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds. This means that apprentices will gain exposure to different ways of thinking, problem-solving approaches, and work methods used across the world.

Being part of a multinational organization helps apprentices develop skills that go beyond the workshop. You learn how large operations work, how international projects are managed, and how engineering solutions are developed and delivered in real industries.

What the Apprenticeship Includes

Classroom Training and Practical Experience

The FLS Apprentice Programme combines structured classroom instruction with real hands-on learning. This balanced approach allows learners to:

• Understand the theory behind the work
• Learn how machines, systems, and tools function
• Practice real tasks under expert guidance
• Gain confidence in their trade

The programme is designed to teach apprentices everything they need to become skilled professionals in Fitting and Machining. This includes understanding mechanical systems, using workshop tools, measuring accurately, maintaining equipment, assembling parts, and problem-solving in practical situations.

Trade Certificate After Successful Training

Once the apprenticeship is completed and the trade test is passed, participants will receive a recognized trade certificate. This certificate opens doors to long-term employment opportunities and career growth within the engineering and industrial sectors.
