Engineering Maintenance Technician Apprenticeship
Engineering Maintenance Technicians work in a wide range of industries that use plant, machinery, equipment, systems, and fixtures. This includes energy, leisure and entertainment, manufacturing, processing, and utilities companies. Working environments vary across these industries.
Dual Discipline Course
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience. What you'll do at work:
- Electrical and control and instrumentation technician
- Electrical and mechanical maintenance technician
Engineering Maintenance Technicians are responsible for maintaining plant and equipment to optimise operation. This involves carrying out planned and preventative maintenance to prevent issues occurring and reactive maintenance when problems occur, for example, responding to breakdowns.
Technicians must prepare for and accept jobs, complete work safely to required standards, close the job, and complete accurate work records. They also contribute to continuous improvement activities. Depending on the task, work may be completed as part of a team or independently.
Where You'll Work
Head Office, Arnolds Field Estate, Wickwar, Gloucestershire, GL12 8JB.
Apprenticeships include time away from working for specialist training. You’ll study to gain professional knowledge and skills.
Training provider: CITY OF BRISTOL COLLEGE
