Our Apprenticeship Programme

The Linde Material Handling (MH) Engineering Apprenticeship Programme helps the business grow its own best-in-class engineers to support the demand for field, workshop, and site-based engineers to meet our customers’ needs. The main purpose of the role is to learn how to become a fully competent Linde engineer by applying learning from college, and demonstrating this knowledge to mentors, the Apprentice Development Officer, and college assessors to meet our customers’ needs.

Linde Material Handling is currently looking for an enthusiastic Apprentice Engineer based in the BS postcode area. You need to be passionate about engineering, keen to learn, motivated to achieve success, and want to join a multinational engineering company and become part of the next generation of engineers.

You will need to commit to a three-year training and development programme, before you become a fully qualified Service Engineer and be awarded a Level 3 apprenticeship in Lift Truck & Powered Access Engineering. You will be supported by a dedicated Mentor and an Apprentice Development Officer who will monitor all training through college and on-the-job training. During the programme, you will learn to inspect, maintain, service, and repair all types of material handling equipment, including forklift trucks and warehouse equipment.

During your apprenticeship, you will be expected to travel to college and stay overnight for blocks of learning time. Travel to and from college will be funded, as will accommodation and meals.

Upon successful completion, you will be a fully qualified Linde engineer and able to start your career with a market leader.

Your duties and responsibilities during your apprenticeship include:

• Attending all required training courses (internal & external).
• Passing all knowledge block training tests at college.
• Passing End Point Assessment for Level 3 in Lift Truck & Powered Access Engineering.
• Passing all internal assessments showcasing general knowledge of safety, product knowledge, and use of diagnostic equipment.
• Completing all online tests and end point assessments to deadline within two resits.
• Completing your e-Portfolio on time and to the expected standards agreed by the college and ADO.
• Working closely with the training organisation to achieve your qualification.
• Becoming competent at carrying out preventative maintenance, repairs, and the use of diagnostics on a wide range of the Linde product.

To succeed in the apprenticeship programme, you need to have a passion for engineering and be motivated and committed to demonstrating a willingness to learn. Being an engineer with Linde Material Handling will require you to engage with customers and colleagues daily, so you will need good verbal and listening skills, as well as presenting yourself confidently with a positive and ‘can do’ attitude.

We look for those who take pride in their work, complete tasks to a high standard, and show flexibility. We hope you will be a Linde brand ambassador.

To be considered for our Apprenticeship you will:

• Have a GCSE Grade 4 or above in Maths and English (or predicted grades if undertaking GCSEs) or a National 5 in Scotland.
• Have an interest in engineering and technology.
• Have a full UK Driver’s Licence.
