  • Work alongside experienced engineers and technicians to develop your practical skills
  • Gain hands-on experience supporting maintenance activities and day-to-day operations
  • Learn how to identify faults and understand how equipment and systems work
  • Develop your knowledge of engineering, maintenance and workplace safety
  • Learn to follow maintenance procedures and Health & Safety requirements
  • Build your problem-solving, communication and teamwork skills
  • Complete your apprenticeship training and put your new knowledge into practice
  • Take on new challenges as your skills, knowledge and confidence grow

What you'll bring

  • An interest in engineering, mechanics or how things work
  • A positive attitude and enthusiasm for learning
  • Curiosity and a willingness to try new things
  • Good problem-solving and practical skills
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • A reliable and responsible approach to work
  • Good attention to detail
  • A willingness to follow instructions and safety procedures
  • A proactive, can-do attitude and a desire to develop

You don't need to know it all from day one. We're looking for someone with the right attitude, a curious mind and the motivation to learn. We'll give you the opportunity to develop your skills and build the foundations for your future career in engineering.
