Electronic and Electrical Engineering Degree Apprentice

As an Electronic and Electrical Degree Apprentice, you will gain a broad range of experience of latest testing technologies and an opportunity to develop a skill set that includes automation control, electronics and electrical installation, instrumentation and measurement and electrical plant maintenance and fault finding.

Responsibilities

• Installation, maintenance, fault finding and troubleshooting on electrical control and automated systems
• Programming and calibration
• Documentation and safety compliance
• PLCs, SCADA, BMS systems and communication networks
• Translate conceptual ideas or technical requirements into developmental outcomes, operational designs, or specifications for electrical and electronic projects or programmes of work.
• Select, use and apply approved problem-solving methods to solve problems and determine solutions or actions.
• Collate, store, use and present data and supporting documentation.
• Interpret and produce technical documentation such as schematic and circuit diagrams, engineering drawings or 3D CAD models, simulation models, engineering reports, test reports, fault reports or data analytics.
• Observe, record and draw accurate and auditable conclusions from data evidence.
• Manage assigned projects or programmes of work, taking into account factors such as planning, safety, quality, cost, performance and sustainability.
• Apply processes for project or programme management such as escalation, audit or risk management and risk mitigation.
• Comply with statutory and organisational safety and security standards and requirements, supporting safety risk assessments and mitigate any risks identified within the design, manufacture, development or test activity.
• Identify and use processes, resources and technologies to complete electrical and electronic engineering projects or programmes of work.
• Apply quality management and assurance processes to identify and rectify faults, inaccuracies, discrepancies or unexpected results during the electrical and electronic engineering process.
• Carry out pre operations checks of electrical and electronic engineering systems and equipment before use.
• Manage continuous improvement activities using techniques such as Six Sigma, 5s, Kaizen, Lean, Kanban, Statistical Process Control or Value Stream Mapping.
• Create, maintain and review project documentation. Record and action any non-conformities.
• Communicate with others verbally, for example colleagues and stakeholders.
• Communicate in writing, for example technical reports, documents and presentations.
• Collaborate with colleagues and stakeholders. Manage differing and competing interests with stakeholders.
• Identify and complete opportunities for personal and professional development including keeping up to date with current and emerging technology.
• Apply and promote policies and practices to support equity, diversity and inclusion.
• Consider management of change (MOC) requirements when undertaking electrical and electronic projects or programmes of work.
• Comply with environmental and sustainability legislation, regulations and standards associated with the electrical and electronic engineering environment. Uses resources efficiently, for example waste minimisation.
• Ensure equipment is managed and maintained.
• Optimise processes and procedures, such as relating to safety, efficiency, performance, productivity and sustainability.
• Ensure that all systems or equipment has been correctly configured, checked and tested for safe operation, efficiency and reliability.
