Reporting to an Engineer manager, the D&P engineering apprentice will have the opportunity to develop both a practical and academic understanding of engineering. Throughout the apprenticeship, engineers at the beginning of their career will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and learning to various business initiatives and engineering programs. D&P engineering apprentices primarily work on all stages of product creation and modification. They support activities ranging from early concept feasibility, design and development stages right through to final preparation for launch and customers. This includes working on rapid prototyping, assembly, testing, validating and analysing performance. Typically working closely with engineers to bring new concepts to life or supporting redesigns of existing products.
