Placement details

Our multi-skilled engineering apprenticeship programme is designed to create the technicians and engineers of the future. As an engineering apprentice, you will have the opportunity to develop mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control & automation skills.

We offer Engineering apprenticeships in a manufacturing setting. Our Engineering apprenticeship lasts up to four years. In the first year, you’ll spend most of your time at college, studying theory elements of the apprenticeship and gaining some practical hands-on experience. In subsequent years, you’ll continue one day a week at college while learning new skills as part of an engineering team.

Your apprenticeship will combine on-the-job learning with a programme of training and development. You will:

• Develop mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and automation skills
• Learn how to maintain production equipment
• Carry out routine maintenance
• Fault find, diagnose and resolve breakdowns
