What will the apprentice be doing?
As well as training and qualifications, you will also be paid a competitive rate of pay and be eligible for benefits, including a defined contribution pension scheme. We will also support your continuing professional development after you have qualified.
As an Electrical Apprentice, you will be supporting the Engineers with the maintenance of the plant and equipment within the factory and undertaking preventative maintenance tasks.
• It is essential that you have a practical hands-on approach to completing these tasks, and you will need good organisational skills to enable you to manage the range of tasks competing for attention.
• At college you will be studying subjects to give you the appropriate knowledge and skills to carry out these tasks when back in company, such as Electronic Fault Finding, Features and Applications of Electrical Machines, and Principles and Operations of Three Phase Systems to name but a few.
• You will input information into a planned maintenance system, and you will support the collection and analysis of production data, so computer skills will be necessary.
• You will be responsible for familiarising yourself with Ibstock Policies and Procedures in your particular area, and to work within the Health and Safety parameters within the factory.
What training will the apprentice take and what qualification will the apprentice get at the end?
You will be staying in Birmingham all week during your first year, in a hotel, with the other apprentices.

Once you have passed the Gateway Assessment you progress into your second year which is based at the factory with block release to Make UK to continue with your BTEC Level 3 Diploma.
During your third and fourth year you will be based in the factory putting your newly gained skills and knowledge into practice and completing your Level 3 Diploma.
