What will the apprentice be doing?
The apprenticeship will involve a blend of electrical, mechanical and general engineering input, designed to meet the evolving skills needs in this sector.
You will complete a rotational programme aligned to the apprenticeship across Collins Aerospace ensuring key competences are met. Additionally, you will be assigned a mentor to support your development and will be supported by our Early Careers Team to ensure progression on programme.
Over the apprenticeship, you will learn to solve real-world problems using a combination of mechanical and electrical engineering expertise. The work at Collins Aerospace will require a mixture of skills in design, testing, analysis, reporting, verification, safety assessment, quality assurance, project management and delivering to time and cost.
Some of your key responsibilities will be:
· Identify and derive technical requirements for electro-mechanical projects or systems
· Design or redesign electro-mechanical products or systems to fulfil customer and technical requirements
· Create and utilise technical analyses models or simulations to predict the performance of products or systems
· Build or oversee the production of prototype systems, components or specimens to test functionality and performance of products
· Develop, define and execute testing of products or systems
· Verify that products/systems comply with legislative and company standards
· Review performance of in-service products/systems
· Communicate information, progress, risks and issues at all levels of the business

· Work with a range of internal and external stakeholders
· Regularly attend reviews to analyse performance and personal development targets
What training will the apprentice take and what qualification will the apprentice get at the end?
The University of Warwick's BEng Electromechanical Engineering Degree Apprenticeship is studied over five years through on-campus face-to-face teaching and virtual learning experiences, with teaching and assessment blended, and integrated work based learning throughout. On campus teaching takes place during six, one-week blocks, for each year of study, delivered by Warwick academic staff with collaborative teaching support from Collins Aerospace.
The degree apprenticeship has been designed in collaboration with employers to satisfy the Apprenticeship Standard for an Electro-mechanical Engineer. This is the employer-defined, government-approved standard of competence for an apprentice in this engineering discipline.
The University offers a unique programme, demonstrating a mix of electrical, mechanical and general engineering input, designed to meet the evolving skills needs in this sector. You’ll cover the foundations of engineering and electromechanical engineering in the first two years of the course. In the third and fourth years, you'll focus on systems design, including a group project design module, and in the final year you will be required to carry out an individual electromechanical engineering project within the organisation, to apply the knowledge and skills gained over the duration of the programme and create a real-life engineering solution.
During your time on campus you will have opportunities to meet one-to-one with your academic mentors and Apprenticeship Tutor, and with other Warwick staff.
What is the expected career progression after this apprenticeship?
The scheme is aimed at ambitious students who are eager to work for one of the world’s biggest aerospace companies, it will provide you with a unique opportunity to progress your career.
We recognise that your development is key for you to fulfil your potential in the world of work. That’s why we’ve created a programme that will support your learning to deliver real business value though it’s up to you to make the most of it.
You will undertake a development training programme during the five years. Designed to help you develop your personal leadership skills, you will learn to inspire and lead others by understanding yourself, how you relate to the people you work with and the leadership challenges you face.
By the end of the programme, having completed your rotations and functional training, you will have gained an effective understanding of the Collins Aerospace technical strategies and processes.
