Engineering Apprentice
Apprenticeship Development Plan
Your Apprenticeship Development Plan will start at our Manchester Manufacturing site where you will firstly and most importantly become part of our team. You will gain your initial understanding of our business processes - taking part in a rotational plan moving throughout our different departments. Starting with our Sales Team, you will see the lifecycle of our products right through to the completion and shipping of a manufactured component ready to be used.
Your hands-on academic training plan is where learning and development really begins. You will take part in a 4-year training plan where NOV will monitor your progress, supporting and guiding you to become a successful and first-class engineering apprentice.
Academic Year One
You will be in college and on-site, spending time working towards your hands-on NVQ Level 2 Qualification. Your NVQ Level 2 will create the foundations for progression - understanding general fundamental engineering processes and requirements.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Academic Year Two
You will commence training leading to a Level 3 Diploma and you will be onsite at Manchester where you will be part of the NOV team and use their knowledge to further your development. You will gain first-hand exposure in our plant, engineering teams, and research & development lab where you will develop an understanding of our procedures, policies, and values.
Academic Year Three
You will be qualified to Level 3 Diploma enabling you to function as a member of the engineering team, working on lab testing, report production, and general design tasks, using the relevant tools and software.
Academic Year Four
