• Helping diagnose and fix breakdowns on machinery and equipment
• Supporting planned maintenance to keep production lines running smoothly
• Learning how different machines and systems work across the site
• Getting involved in improvement projects to make equipment safer, faster, and more efficient

No previous engineering experience is needed - full training will be provided.

An interest in engineering or experience fixing things like cars, bikes, or equipment in your own time would be a great advantage.

What are we looking for?

We’re not looking for experts - we’re looking for the right attitude.

• Passion & Energy - an interest in engineering and the motivation to learn
• Team Player - you enjoy working with others and being part of a team
• Curiosity - you like finding out how things work and asking questions
• Ability to Communicate - you’re comfortable speaking face to face with different people, from colleagues on the shop floor to managers and visitors

What’s in it for you?

• Salary above apprentice minimum wage
• Level 3 Manufacturing Engineering Apprenticeship
• College 1 day a week, work on site 4 days a week
• Ongoing support, mentoring, and coaching
• Membership of our Early Careers Community, with development events and activities designed for our young talent population.

What happens next?

• Apply online - complete the application form and upload your CV.
• Initial chat - a member of our Talent Team will give you a call to talk about your interest in engineering, your motivation, and why you’d like to work at G’s.
• Assessment Centre - if shortlisted, you’ll be invited to our Engineering Assessment Centre in July, where you’ll meet our Engineering team and take part in a range of practical and team‑based activities.
• Offer & start date - if successful, you’ll receive an offer to start your apprenticeship from September (or earlier, depending on your circumstances).
