This is a hands‑on opportunity ideal for people starting their career, recent graduates, school leavers, or anyone looking to retrain and grow into a multiskilled engineering role.
You’ll be supported with dedicated training, on‑the‑job mentoring, and real responsibility from day one. Your work will help our teams keep systems running smoothly, prevent breakdowns, and continuously improve how we operate.Key responsibilities include:
- Carrying out preventative maintenance inspections to help keep our equipment safe, efficient, and reliable.
- Completing condition monitoring checks and supporting continuous improvement activities.
- Responding to reactive maintenance tasks on plant and equipment.
- Building your knowledge of mechanical and electrical breakdowns, including hands‑on experience in welding and fabrication.
- Completing maintenance stock checks and reports to support effective planning and sustainability practices.
You’ll be part of a supportive team where learning, innovation, and inclusion matter. We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds and encourage applicants from groups currently underrepresented in engineering.
What are the requirements?
We’re looking for someone who is motivated, curious, and passionate about building a career as a Multiskilled Engineer. You do not need prior engineering work experience, your enthusiasm, commitment, and willingness to learn are what matter most.
To join this apprenticeship, you will need:
- A genuine interest in developing your career in engineering maintenance.
- A full driving licence is desirable but not essential.
