Brief Description
The Tendering Engineer Apprentice will support the preparation of competitive and compliant tender submissions for industrial automation projects across manufacturing and related sectors. The role will provide training in technical pre‑sales engineering, commercial awareness, and bid coordination.
Training to be Provided
During your apprenticeship, you will receive two types of training.
On-the-job training will be delivered by Schneider Electric, your employer. You’ll receive training and supervision to help you perform your role. This will include skills and knowledge that are outside of the apprenticeship but are necessary for the job. In addition to ‘on-the-job’ training, they will support you in other ways to ensure your success.
Types of support will include:
- A comprehensive induction
- Mentoring or regular one-to-one guidance
- Social enrichment and networking opportunities
- Performance reviews
- Mental health and wellbeing support
- Feedback opportunities
- Off-the-job training will be provided by a carefully selected training provider during your normal working hours. You will spend at least 20% of your working hours (approximately 6-hours per week) completing ‘off-the-job’ training
This is protected time and a requirement for apprenticeship delivery. This training will teach you the knowledge, skills, and behaviours outlined in the apprenticeship standard, enabling you to achieve occupational competence.
Future Prospects
- After successful completion of your apprenticeship, you will potentially have the opportunity to move into a permanent position
- Your learning doesn't stop there! Learn every day, to stop learning is to stop growing. We are genuinely curious, never done with learning. With Schneider, there is no such thing as knowing it all or having all the answers. We believe in life-long learning
- Every minute of the day brings a new chance to listen, open up our minds, and widen our horizons. We are never too experienced to learn
