Apprentice Technician

Details

Deadline: 15 June 2025

Cox London offers a return to craft where artists’ hands, material knowledge and natural inspiration all play intrinsic roles in the pieces we make.

It is committed to foster a culture of excellence in craftsmanship and design. Its vision is to be the leading employer in the UK craft industry by creating a Centre of Excellence that offers a comprehensive and immersive experience for talent passionate about this field.

These two apprenticeships are three-year, full-time placements where you earn as you learn. In your foundation year, you’ll get a 360-degree view of Cox London and Guild Bespoke Metalworks, with hands-on training from warehouse and production to commercial sales and finance, alongside learning ancient crafts. You’ll also benefit from an accredited external Business Skills course. At the end of the first year, you’ll be assessed in specialist areas (Fabrication, Patination, Wiring, and Foundry) and choose one area to specialise in during years two and three.

Combining on-the-job, hands-on training (4 days/week) with studying (1 day/week), you’ll engage with mentors, managers, and a close-knit community daily, who will support your journey and provide the guidance and insight you need to thrive.

• You’ll spend time in each department at Cox London and Guild Bespoke Metalworks, learning about all aspects of their businesses.
• You’ll become competent using basic machinery and power tools, learning about materials and developing hand-making and dexterity skills.
• You’ll learn the importance of accuracy, attention to detail, and quality in the finishing process.
