Employment Type

Apprenticeship / Full-time

About the Role

We are looking for a motivated and hands-on apprentice to join our in-house engineering team. This role is focused on supporting the maintenance, troubleshooting, improvement, and day-to-day operation of technical equipment within the business.

Applicants should ideally have completed, or be close to completing, a Level 3 Engineering qualification, T Level, BTEC, relevant A-levels, or equivalent practical experience.

The role would suit someone who is practical, technically minded, and interested in understanding how machines and systems work. You will assist with diagnosing faults, carrying out repairs, supporting equipment upgrades, and helping keep systems running reliably.

This is a hands-on role with a strong focus on problem-solving, fault-finding, and learning practical engineering skills in a real working environment.

The role will include a structured higher education route, starting with a company-funded HNC in Engineering. Subject to performance and progression, the candidate may then continue onto the HND and a degree top-up route, giving them the opportunity to work towards a full engineering degree while gaining hands-on industry experience.

Key Responsibilities

The apprentice will assist with:

Troubleshooting faults on equipment, machines, and technical systems
Supporting repairs, maintenance, and general engineering tasks
Assisting with the setup and testing of equipment
Helping identify the root cause of recurring issues
Replacing, adjusting, and checking mechanical and electrical components
Supporting engineers with wiring, sensors, pumps, motors, valves, and control systems
Carrying out basic inspections and preventative maintenance
Recording issues, test results, repairs, and changes made
Helping improve reliability, usability, and safety of in-house equipment
Keeping tools, parts, and work areas organised
Following safe working practices at all times

Skills and Interests

We are looking for someone who is:

Practical, hands-on, and eager to learn
Interested in engineering, machines, automation, or technical systems
Good at problem-solving and logical thinking
Patient and methodical when diagnosing issues
Comfortable using hand tools and basic test equipment
Able to follow instructions carefully and work safely
Reliable, organised, and detail-focused
Willing to ask questions and learn from feedback

Requirements

Full UK driving licence required, as the role may involve travelling to suppliers, customer sites, or between company locations
Basic IT skills for recording jobs, writing notes, using email, and reading technical documents.
Level 3 qualification in Engineering or an equivalent qualificationOR
3 A-levels A*-C in relevant fields such as STEM
GCSEs or equivalent in Maths and English

Useful Experience

The following would be useful, but not essential:

Basic mechanical or electrical knowledge
Experience using hand tools
Interest in motors, pumps, sensors, wiring, machinery, or automation
Experience fixing, building, or modifying technical equipment
Basic understanding of fault-finding or maintenance
Any workshop, lab, manufacturing, engineering, or technical hobby experience

Full training will be provided, so attitude, reliability, and willingness to learn are more important than existing experience.

What You Will Learn

The successful candidate will gain experience in:

Practical engineering fault-finding
Mechanical and electrical troubleshooting
Equipment maintenance and repair
Sensors, pumps, motors, valves, and control systems
Preventative maintenance
Reading basic technical drawings and documentation
Safe use of tools and test equipment
Recording and documenting engineering work
Improving equipment reliability and performance
Working in a real in-house engineering environment

Ideal Candidate

This role would be ideal for someone who wants to start a career as an engineering technician, maintenance engineer, service engineer, automation engineer, or in-house technical support engineer.

We are particularly interested in candidates who enjoy fixing things, understanding how equipment works, and solving practical problems.

Equivalent practical experience or a strong personal interest in engineering will also be considered.

Compensation

Competitive, depending on experience
