Engineering Technician Apprentice

The role will be predominately based at our office in Macclesfield and the responsibilities will be split between three departments.

Calibration Lab:

• Performing maintenance, repairs, and testing on various calibration equipment as per customer requirements, as well as for internal engineers, for scheduled field-based jobs.


• Calibration of temperature, level, flow, electrical and pressure equipment.


• Calibrating equipment in line with UKAS standards, ensuring calibration equipment is safe, compliant, and certified against national and internationally recognised standards under the supervision of the Lab and Accreditation Manager.

Panel Lab:

• Design and code Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) to automate processes according to customer specifications.


• Build and assemble automated systems based on design plans.


• Perform validation and testing of control panels and associated equipment to ensure functionality and compliance with specifications.


• Create detailed electrical and mechanical schematic drawings using CAD software.

Field Based:

• Shadow and as appropriate assist field-based engineers with calibration service jobs at customer sites to ensure systems operate correctly.


• Provide on-site support for equipment breakdowns. Diagnose issues, advise on solutions, and either perform immediate repairs or schedule follow-up service. If necessary, send parts to the lab for further analysis or repair under the supervision of the field-based engineer.


• Install and commission control panels and systems at customer sites. Ensure the installed systems operate as specified and meet customer requirements.
