This is a varied and interesting role, where there will be countless opportunities to develop both your technical knowledge and abilities. We’ll provide you with a cross-functional role across mechanical, electrical and ICA disciplines.

This role will be paid a competitive apprentice starting salary of £17,065 for your first year's service, and will increase to £20,586 after 12 months with the company. You'll also be eligible for our internal bonus scheme, as well as any company-wide pay increases that are offered during this time.
What you'll be doing:
- Completing a Level 3 Maintenance Technician apprenticeship via our training partners - a structured programme of training conducted within the state-of-the-art Mechanical and Electrical Engineering departmental workshops
- Contribute to a healthy and safe working environment by working to our approved codes of practice
- Become proficient in the application and use of a wide range of machine tools
- Develop fitting and assembly skills

- A structured induction and training programme, fully supported by the business
- Time for off-the-job training to attend college and/or support the apprentice programme
- Regular reviews between you, the college and the business to ensure you are receiving the support and knowledge you need to fulfil your role
- The opportunity to continue your training into Higher Apprenticeships
- Paid holiday leave – 23 days for your first year's service, to increase over time
- The opportunity to partake in the company’s Sharesave scheme
- Free car parking
- Company pension scheme and other perks
What we'd like from you
- Ideally, 5 GCSEs at grades A* to C (9 to 4) – but for the right person, this isn’t essential
- An ambitious mindset
- A strong work ethic
- The willingness to learn and develop
- A keen interest in engineering and how things work
Applications for these roles will close on Friday 31 March 2023.
