The Engineering Fitter apprenticeship standard is suitable for those producing complex high value, low volume components or assemblies in full or part, using machines, equipment or systems, to the required specification.
An Engineering Fitter may typically have a mechanical, electrical, electronic, control systems, pipe fitting or instrumentation bias. To produce or refurbish the components, fitters will interpret drawings or specifications and plan their work, for example ensuring they have the right tools, equipment and resources to complete the task to the required specification.
Fitters are required to check their work against quality standards and make adjustments as required based on their knowledge.
An employee in this occupation will be responsible for completion of their work to the required specification and deadlines, with minimum supervision.
