About the Apprenticeship

Structured 6-month apprenticeship to develop a mechanical assembly graduate into a fully qualified Assembly Technician, building WAR's full product line in our production workshop — INUMA™ dispensing kiosks, filter assemblies, electrical control panels, and pump-and-tank sub-systems. You train under the Assembly Specialist toward the same Officer-level competencies our Assembly Technicians deliver every day.

Location & transport:

Based at the Rwamagana facility — WAR's warehouse and workshops. WAR provides company-facilitated daily transport in the morning from HQ Nyamirambo (Kigali) to the facility, and in the evening back to HQ. No commute cost to you.

Career path:

Apprentices who consistently exceed expectations may be promoted to Junior Assembly Officer with the full Officer-level package.

TVET diploma or certificate in Mechanical Assembly, Plumbing, Electrical Installation, or Building & Construction (RTB/WDA-recognised).

Experience:

Recent graduate (0–1 year) or about-to-graduate within 3 months.

Trade Foundation:

Practical exposure to assembly, fitting, or workshop-based fabrication. Willingness to learn across electrical, plumbing, and filter assembly disciplines.

Workshop Ready:

Comfort with repetitive, high-precision indoor work; occasional site visits.
