About the role
Kickstart your career as a Pump Engineer with GAP Group’s award‑winning Apprenticeship Programme! Earn while you learn, gaining hands‑on experience and a nationally recognised qualification, all whilst working with industry‑leading equipment. With expert support, great benefits, and real career prospects — this is more than just an apprenticeship.
This is a 3‑year course, Monday to Friday 08:00-17:00 with no requirement for weekend working.
The training schedule: As an apprentice you will be enrolled in a blended learning programme where you will gain a Land‑Based Service Engineering Technician Level 3 qualification at Reaseheath College. Through a mixture of on‑the‑job experience and block release training, our apprenticeship programme covers all the essential skills and principles you will need to become a Pump Engineer.
The apprenticeship will last 3 years, consisting of combined block release training at Reaseheath College and in‑house training. You will spend 9 weeks per year at Reaseheath College learning all the necessary skills you will need to succeed. Your time at college will be split into 3×3‑week blocks and you will be required to attend college Monday‑Friday during the set block. All transportation, accommodation and food will be provided. When you are not at college, you will be on‑site at our GAP Depot gaining hands‑on experience and knowledge from our expert engineers.
