The Apprenticeship

An apprenticeship is a paid job where the employee learns and gains valuable, real-life experiences.

We are looking for 2 apprentices to join our Integrated Component and Solutions (ICS) team located at our Peterborough facility (PE1 5FQ

Qualifications

In collaboration with our partnered training provider, University of Nottingham, our 6-year degree apprenticeship scheme will enable you to grow and develop your capabilities and gain a degree from a Russell Group University.

This degree apprenticeship is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and is working towards accreditation from the Institution of Engineering and Technology.

The Experience

Apprentices will have the opportunity to work on projects to design and develop our new product systems under the guidance of our expert staff. This will complement university studies and allow the apprentice to develop to become a qualified engineer and valued member of our team.
