More training information

As our Engineering Apprentice, we’ll help you to become qualified so you can:

• Carry out planned preventative maintenance.
• Provide maintenance of equipment.
• Modify, test, and inspect condition-based monitoring and fault finding with our systems.
• Help improve systems on our sites where required.
• Work on technology which monitors and controls all aspects of processes and their performance across the site.
• Carry out risk assessments and method statements to ensure activities are always completed in a safe manner.

In addition:

• Position, assemble, install and dismantle mechanical plant and equipment which may include pumps, valves, gearboxes, pipework, to agreed specifications.
• Carry out planned, unplanned and preventative maintenance procedures on mechanical plant and equipment.
• Replace, repair or remove components in mechanical plant and equipment and ensure its return to operational condition.
• Diagnose and determine the cause of faults in mechanical plant and equipment.
