Ankobra runs a three-year mechanical fitting apprenticeship in partnership with the district assembly, and we are taking on six apprentices for the coming intake.

You will train in the maintenance workshop alongside qualified fitters, moving through bench work, bearing and seal replacement, pump and conveyor maintenance, and eventually planned shutdown work. Classroom instruction runs one day a week and is paid. Assessment is continuous, and progression to the next year depends on passing it.

Apprentices who complete the programme hold a recognised trade qualification and are given first consideration for permanent fitter vacancies. Several of our current maintenance supervisors started on this programme.
