About the Role
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 3x 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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
