About the role
Beaucroft Watches is an independent British watch brand, founded in Cambridge in 2020.
Alongside Beaucroft, our sister company, BenchWorks Limited, provides sourcing, prototyping, assembly and after-sales support to Beaucroft and other British watch brands.
As we continue to grow, we’re looking for an exceptional individual to join our six-month Watchmaker Trainee Programme, located in Midhurst West Sussex.
No previous watchmaking experience is required. A background in a technical, engineering or practical field would be an advantage, but we’re much more interested in your ability, attitude and willingness to learn.
Over six months, you’ll receive hands-on training in the essential skills needed to become an Assembly Watchmaker, working alongside our experienced team. Successful completion of the initial six-month programme could lead to a full-time position as an Assembly Watchmaker.
Your training will include:
- Watch assembly and component handling
- Basic watchmaking theory
- Correct use and care of precision tools
- Developing hand skills and dexterity
- Identifying and resolving issues independently
- Quality control and inspection
- Learning and consistently achieving the exacting standards our clients expect
This is a hands-on opportunity to learn a highly skilled craft from the ground up and build a career in the watch industry.
What we’re looking for:
You don’t need to be a watch expert. You do need to have:
- Excellent hand/eye coordination and manual dexterity
- A methodical and analytical approach
- Exceptional attention to detail
- Patience and the ability to concentrate for extended periods
- A willingness to learn and develop new skills
- The ability to work carefully and consistently as part of a small team
If you’re someone who enjoys working with your hands, solving problems and taking pride in getting the smallest details right, we’d love to hear from you.
Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
Full-time: six-month fixed contract.
Location: Midhurst, West Sussex.
Salary & benefits to be discussed.
