Vacancy Electrical Manufacturing Apprenticeship
Vacancy overview
Code: 2000002654
Our 4-year Electrical Manufacturing Apprenticeship is a great way to kick-start your career in engineering. Working alongside experienced professionals, you'll learn how to build and test the electrical systems that support some of the most critical work we do.
As part of our workshop team, you'll be involved in everything from assembling and wiring electrical components to testing systems and learning how to spot faults before they become problems. You'll get to grips with a variety of hand and power tools and build your understanding of how different systems work.
Every day brings something new. You could be based in the workshop assembling and wiring components or supporting the testing and inspection of equipment before it’s delivered to our customers. As your experience grows, there may also be opportunities to visit customer sites and see how the systems you’ve helped build are used in real-world environments.
Throughout your apprenticeship, safety will be central to everything you do. You’ll learn how to apply best practice manufacturing and testing techniques while being guided and supported by colleagues who want to see you succeed.
It is a practical, rewarding role that builds real-world skills for a meaningful future.
