Mechatronics Apprenticeship

We have an excellent opportunity to join our Apprenticeship Scheme studying mechatronics, a combination of mechanics/electronics.  

These positions will incorporate maintenance, mechanical engineering and electrical skills required to carry out tasks within the Braunstone Plant. Allowing for your potential career in industry with experience on high-speed automated production lines and working with teams in a fast-paced precision manufacturing environment.  The technical training part of this Apprenticeship is to take place at a MGTS in Coventry and therefore candidates need to be able to attend that training on time each day for around the first 6 -9 months and then on a day-release basis after that.  Apprentices are expected to make their own travel arrangements to and from training and work.

As an Apprentice you will follow a formal structured training programme gaining Level 3 qualifications along with learning how to work safely, maintain good housekeeping and good engineering practices, Other key elements of the tasks you will be involved in as part of your training will include some or all of the following areas:

• Turning, milling, welding and fabrication


• Plant maintenance systems, adherence to PPM schedules and use of thermal and vibration analysis tools


• Working as part of a team in the workshop, repairing electromechanical equipment, motors, gearboxes and pumps


• Learning how to use mechanical fault-finding techniques


• Complete build, repair and devise preventative maintenance solutions for mechanical systems, from simple machines complex machine operating systems


• Knowledge of machinery safety and guarding and their implementation


• Design and building one-off repair solutions and developing process equipment improvements and implementing across multiple machines
