What will the apprentice be doing?

We expect the apprenticeship programme to be provided by City of Bristol College to ultimately obtain a Level 3 Engineering Technician Standard of Apprenticeship covering both electrical and mechanical disciplines.  Once the training element is complete successful apprentices will have an ability to understand electrical drawings to fault find, have a working understanding of PLCs, Drives, Hydraulics and Pneumatics.

 

The engineering apprentice role involves carrying out both planned maintenance work and attending to machine breakdown repairs, using both electrical and mechanical skills.  In addition the engineering apprentices will have a role in reviewing existing systems and advising on methods that could improve operations. 

Main duties will include:

  • Learn and develop behaviours that drive a health and safety culture to create a healthy and risk free working environment.
  • Demonstrate the right attitude and behaviours to succeed in the engineering apprenticeship programme.
  • Learn and develop core behaviours:
  • Act with integrity – be respectful to others
