About The Role

We’re offering an exciting 3-year Engineering Apprenticeship leading to a Level 3 NVQ in Electrical/Mechanical Maintenance. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants a hands-on career in engineering within a busy manufacturing environment.

This apprenticeship is a mix of on-the-job training and college-based learning (either weekly release or block sessions). In your first 3 to 4 months, you'll work Monday to Friday to familiarise yourself with the site and processes. After this, you’ll move onto shift-based work, shadowing and learning directly from experienced engineering mentors.

Apprenticeship Journey

  • Year 1 – Focused on shadowing and learning the basics of the site, equipment, processes, and team.
  • Year 2 – Begin to support engineers with tasks, learning how to identify and prepare tools, and understanding how to approach jobs methodically.
  • Year 3 – Hands-on experience increases. You’ll start taking the lead on tasks while being observed by your mentor, who will support you in growing your independence and problem-solving skills.

  • Enjoy practical, hands-on work
  • Are methodical and eager to ask questions
  • Are self-motivated
  • Have a strong focus on safety and teamwork

Key Skills

  • Enthusiastic about engineering and manufacturing
  • Strong communication skills
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
  • Logical thinker with a desire to understand how things work

We are looking for this person to start and be included in the September intake.
