Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
- Typically the work would cover a broad range of activities including installation, testing, fault-finding and the ongoing planned maintenance of complex automated equipment. This requires the application of a blend of skills, knowledge and occupational behaviours across the electrical, electronic, mechanical, fluid power and control systems disciplines
- As a mechatronics apprentice, you will need to develop a solid grasp of the core job skills and then apply them in the workplace in a logical and systematic approach. You will learn how to carry out complex fault diagnosis and repair on high-technology engineered systems - including mechanical, pneumatic, electrical and electronic equipment - and how to use and interpret engineering data. You will need to comply with statutory regulations and stringent organisational safety requirements
- Follow Company Health and Safety procedures
- Attend College on day release when required
- Attend any additional training or academical courses required
- Attend the B&Q Worksop distribution centre during the working week
- Comply and follow instructions and guidance provided by the engineering staff
- Carrying out such tasks and duties as directed by the Departmental Technical Supervisor/Team leader that are calculated to contribute to the requisite levels of performance and competence
- To help and support the onsite engineering in the maintenance and breakdown engineering duties
- Additional hours or weekend work may be required to facilitate additional engineering training experience
- Attend reviews and achieve the set training milestone requirement of the apprenticeship
