Role

Title:

Technical Engineering Apprentice

Location: Telford (On‑Site)

Apprentice Level: UK Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeship Programme

Salary: £20,000

Role Mission:

Our connected technologies are reshaping industries, transforming cities, and enriching lives. To meet this evolving need, Schneider Electric has launched an Electrical Engineering Apprenticeship Programme. As part of this transformation, we are seeking apprentices to join our teams and contribute to designing and implementing solutions for the smart buildings of the future.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work‑based “apprentice can do” placements in various engineering departments at our Telford site including but not limited to:
  Product Support, Tendering, Customer Care, Marketing, and Manufacturing Shopfloor.

Training:

Training Provider: Shrewsbury College

During your apprenticeship, you will receive two different types of training.

‘On‑the‑job’ training will be delivered by Schneider Electric, as your employer. You’ll receive training and supervision to help you perform the job you’ve been hired to do. This will include skills and knowledge that fall outside of the apprenticeship but are needed for the job role. As well as providing ‘on‑the‑job’ training, it is important that we support you in additional ways to ensure your success.

Types of support will include:

• A comprehensive induction
• Mentoring or regular one‑to‑one guidance
• Social enrichment and networking opportunities
• Performance reviews
• Mental health and wellbeing support
• Feedback opportunities

‘Off‑the‑job’ training is delivered by one of our carefully selected Training Providers during your normal working hours. You will spend at least 20% (average 6 hours per week) of your working hours completing ‘off‑the‑job’ training. This is protected time and is a requirement for apprenticeship delivery. This training will teach you the knowledge, skills, and behaviours set out in the apprenticeship standard so you can achieve occupational competence.

Work Pattern

37.5 hours per week to be worked from Monday to Friday. Exact start and finish times are to be agreed upon with Line Manager. Some of these hours will be allocated to off‑the‑job training as part of your Apprenticeship Programme.
