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
The engineer will undertake and experience:
- Training on multiple different system types.
- Exposure to different manufacturers' equipment.
- Working in and amongst a tight-knit, supportive team.
- Learning a wide variety of transferable skills.
- Working for a H&S certified company.
- Being a part of major design and build projects.
- Working for a supporting member of the ISCVE (Institute of Sound Communications & Visual Engineers).
- The hours are flexible and will be split between the office, where we undertake both training, assembly, and programming of the equipment we install and varying locations where we either install VA systems or maintain them.
The role entails occasional evening or night work, but this is not usually extensive or prolonged. Being able to drive will be an advantage and will become essential.
