Apprentice, Manufacturing Engineering Technician

We are looking for someone who is motivated to start a career in engineering and keen to learn within a manufacturing and production environment. Our Apprenticeship opportunities combine studying for a professional qualification with gaining work experience at our site in Weymouth. You become part of the team when your professional career begins, from Day 1. You will:

• Assist in gathering and analysing information and data from a range of sources.
• Assist in making decisions, solving problems and where applicable, update technical documentation, reports or specifications covering areas such as quality, reliability, production processes and targets.
• Assist in resolving manufacturing and build issues with varying degree of complexity.
• Learn to support the team in the design and implementation of all necessary jigs, fixtures and tooling to ensure ease and consistency of manufacture and to assist in supporting any production process changes.
• Support liaison with appropriate internal and external stakeholders.
• Apply theoretical knowledge to practical tasks and successfully complete college education and studies related to the apprenticeship.

• 5 GCSEs at grade 4/5 or above, including Maths, English, and a science, technology, or engineering-related subject, OR
• 90+ credits in a Level 3 Engineering BTEC

During your apprenticeship, you will be visited by the training provider at least once a month for a full day of training. In some months, you may receive two visits to support the development of your knowledge, skills and behaviours. All training is delivered on site at ASMPT, meaning you will not need to leave the workplace to attend college. This workplace‑based approach allows the trainer to tailor learning directly to your role, using familiar language and real working examples so you can easily relate the learning to your day‑to‑day tasks.

This is a popular and effective way of learning, as training is personalised to your workplace and delivered in small groups or one‑to‑one. The training provider operates all year round and does not break for half term, helping you make consistent progress and potentially complete your apprenticeship on time or even earlier than planned. You will also be set up on an online portfolio, where you can view assigned tasks, track your progress, and see what needs to be completed before your next session.

If you need any help between visits, you can contact your tutor for additional support at any time.

• An appreciation of different engineering disciplines, such as mechanical, electrical, and software engineering.
• The ability to manage your own time and workload to meet agreed targets across short-, medium-, and long-term timescales.
• A willingness to learn and apply new knowledge and skills to both standard and non-standard problems.
• A positive attitude to problem‑solving and continuous improvement.
• A willingness to learn about the importance of quality, safety, and following procedures in an engineering environment.
