Our Engineering Apprenticeship Scheme will take approximately four years to complete whereby you'll also benefit from vocational training as well as study for a Technical Certificate at a local college provider.

During this time, you'll become qualified to carry out planned preventative maintenance, general maintenance, modifying and testing of equipment, condition-based monitoring, and identifying faults within our systems.
