About the Role
Procter & Gamble (P&G) is the world’s largest consumer goods company, producing exceptional branded household and personal care products including Ariel, Fairy, Pampers, Gillette, Oral B, and Pantene.
Based at our Manchester Production Facility, we manufacture Pampers nappies for the UK and Northern Europe. Our operation runs 24/7, handling up to 20 diapers every second through highly automated, high-speed equipment with complex mechanical and electrical needs. This requires skilled technicians who can maintain advanced power and control systems, particularly Rockwell-based technology.
As an apprentice, you’ll rotate through various departments across a supportive 3-year programme while earning qualifications, including a Level 3 Electrical & Mechanical Technician (EMT). You’re also welcomed into specialist teams like Rebuild and Ancillary (Utilities and Palletisation).
Key Responsibilities
- Work in a multi-skilled engineering team, partnership with Trafford College, contributing to daily operations while completing structured apprenticeship assignments.
- Perform planned and preventative maintenance, and fault finding using rigorous technical analysis and troubleshooting.
- Champion manufacturing excellence through continuous improvement initiatives tailored to your department.
- Work across systems and equipment safely and efficiently, adhering to internal controls, quality, hygiene, safety standards, and medical device regulations.
- Implement appropriate problem-solving techniques, ensuring adherence to procedure plans, drawings, and technical data.
- Gradually assume responsibility for site equipment and systems, developing consistency in problem-solving and technical skills.
- Report non-conformances with equipment or systems, prioritising the safety imperative while following standard procedures.
