Your mission
C&I engineers create, simplify and automate processes. They deal with systems that measure and control all kinds of things – from the flow of water to the temperature of a furnace. Your goal is to make sure these complex processes can take place at the simple press of a button.
THE QUALIFICATIONS YOU’LL NEED
Five GCSE’s at Grade 4/C or above to include Maths and English.
Plus, you’ll need to be a British Citizen for Security Vetting reasons.
WORK PATTERN
You’ll be based at one of our sites with one day a week off-site at college.
At AWE, we operate on a nine-day fortnight – meaning you get every other Friday off work in addition to 270 hours of annual leave.
SKILLS TO DEMONSTRATE
• A practical aptitude for engineering or technology
• Excellent team working skills
• Good communication skills
• Awareness of health and safety
• The ability to follow instructions
Your journey
It all begins in our Skills Academy. You’ll attend a range of lectures designed to increase your knowledge and understanding of a wide range of circuits and systems. Importantly, you will also learn and develop vital control and instrumentation skills by completing various projects.
Once your training at the Academy is complete, you’ll move to the highly practical, on-site phase of training. Taking part in a variety of different placements, you will use your new skills to maintain, repair, install and calibrate equipment that is used across AWE. You will spend the whole second half of your apprenticeship on placements.
Think you’ve got what it takes?
We’re looking for people who are curious about how things work..
You might be fascinated by how engineering systems are controlled, how Building Management Systems keep environments running smoothly, or how safety systems protect people and processes.
You’re someone who wants to take engineering principles off the page and apply them in the real world. You don’t just want to understand the theory – you want to see it in action, solve problems, and keep learning as you go.
