The Opportunity

This is a fantastic opportunity to start your career in a hands on Electrical Apprenticeship within our production and engineering team.

You’ll be based on site, working alongside experienced engineers and technicians who will support you as you learn how to maintain and improve our automated manufacturing equipment and infrastructure across two sites.

This role is perfect for someone who enjoys practical work, problem solving and understanding how machinery and systems work.

• You’ll spend most of your time on site, working alongside experienced engineers and technicians who want to see you succeed. They will show you how our equipment works, how to maintain it and how to fix issues when they happen, but your curiosity and willingness to get involved will be what helps you grow quickly.

• You will gain real industry experience, a recognised qualification and the chance to build a long term career in a growing and innovative sector.

• You’ll learn how to work safely in an engineering environment, follow planned maintenance routines and support with fixing breakdowns when they occur.

• You will get hands on experience inspecting electrical systems, carrying out preventative maintenance, supporting fault finding and helping to keep equipment in good working order.

Who you are

• You will enjoy working in a practical environment and have a keen interest in how machines and electrical systems work.

• You are naturally curious and like asking questions so you can learn and improve. You notice small details that others might miss, and that skill will help you succeed when inspecting equipment and supporting maintenance tasks.

• You feel confident following clear processes and instructions, especially when it comes to safety, and you understand the importance of keeping yourself and others safe at work.

• Most importantly, you are motivated, eager to learn and ready to build a long term career in engineering
