Apprentice Metallurgist and Material Engineering

This apprenticeship role supports the selection, testing, and improvement of materials used in manufacturing components and products. 

This apprenticeship role assists with Material Deviation requests and staying informed about new materials, sustainability efforts, and industry standards. Strong teamwork and a willingness to learn are essential for success in this collaborative environment.

• Learning how to conduct basic failure analysis, contributing to material improvement suggestions, and working alongside design and engineering teams to meet product performance goals.
• The apprentice will assist in evaluating material properties such as strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, and help analyze material specifications.
• He / She should be familiar with various materials and heat treatment processes (metallic and non-metallic).
• Conversant with ferrous and non-ferrous castings, heat-treated forgings, raw materials (solid bars, hollow tubes, CR/HR sheets, high-strength sheets, hardware, machined heat-treated parts such as case hardening, induction hardening, nitriding, etc.), suspension/sintered parts, and metal joining/friction welding.
• Root cause analysis and problem-solving ability.
• Preferred knowledge of metallic additive manufacturing.
• Understanding and review of technical requirements, customer specifications, NDT, etc.
• Material selection – Advise on appropriate metals and alloys for specific applications based on their properties and performance requirements.
• Failure analysis – Investigate and diagnose the cause of material failure and recommend corrective actions to prevent future occurrences.

• Graduate or Postgraduate in Metallurgy / Material Science Technology BE or B Tech from reputed University.
• Good knowledge of Microsoft Office applications
• Training in Software tools (e.g., PTC Windchill for PLM, ANSYS, MATLAB, or other material simulation software) is a plus.
• Knowledge of ISO and ASTM standards, and certifications related to these standards may be beneficial.
