Electro-Mechanical Engineering Degree Apprenticeship

This Level 6 apprenticeship will give you practical, real-world experience working on electrical and mechanical systems across our Submarine Commissioning Group.   You'll work on the commissioning of nuclear submarines, learning how to perform critical tasks such as system installation, operation, and maintenance, alongside fault diagnosis and rectification.  We’ll help you build fundamental skills such as drawing, calculations, specifications, scheduling and reporting. Working with teams from other engineering departments, you’ll also learn the fundamentals of electrical and mechanical design, from concept through to manufacturing.   Throughout the programme, you’ll undertake a series of placements to give you a breadth of experience in all areas of Electro-Mechanical Engineering, supporting you to achieve professional registration through the Institute of Mechanical Engineering (IMechE). 

Training:

Your training will take place through a mixture of classroom learning and work placements. Each year you’ll spend a number of weeks at the University of Warwick for theoretical and practical training (attendance at the University for face-to-face sessions is mandatory), with the rest of your time spent onsite at Devonport Royal Dockyard within our Submarine Commissioning Group. 

Training Outcome:

At the end of your apprenticeship, you’ll have earned a BEng in Electro-Mechanical Engineering and gained valuable work experience in nuclear submarine commissioning as a Commissioning Engineer. This will put you on par with peers who have completed our graduate programme and are progressing towards becoming future Lead Engineers or Design Managers within the business. 
 
At this stage, you can expect a salary exceeding £42,000 per annum.
