You will join us in September 2026 and throughout your 4‑year apprenticeship, you will be working towards a Level 3 Engineering Technician (Mechatronics) qualification, designed to give you a strong foundation in both mechanical and electrical engineering. In your first year, you’ll be based (live in) in Coventry full‑time, attending training Monday‑Friday onsite at our leading training partner MGTS, where you’ll develop core technical skills in a hands‑on, workshop‑based environment. From year two through to the end of your apprenticeship in year 4, you’ll spend the majority of your time at your assigned site, applying what you’ve learned in real‑world settings alongside experienced engineers in our manufacturing facilities. You’ll also return to MGTS periodically for further training and assessments as part of your qualification.
