Manufacturing Engineering Degree Apprentice

A Manufacturing Engineer (ME) within the Collins business leads from the front, living and driving our core values of Engaged, Empowered and Accountable - always.  

As an ME you are accountable for all aspects of project performance ensuring that the needs of the business and our diverse customer base are met across key facets such as Schedule, Cost, Quality & Scope to name but a few. Alongside the project-based initiatives, you will also provide day to day support to Operations, helping to ensure that safety, quality, and output targets are met for a given area of the Wolverhampton facility. 
 
A successful Collins ME is self-motivated with excellent time management and organisation skills. They will also be an expert communicator and can solve the toughest of challenges, all while placing the customer at the centre of everything they do.  

The degree apprenticeship programme lasts for a period of 5 years and is a partnership between Collins Aerospace and University of Warwick. You will learn key engineering principles at University of Warwick which will be vital to your development at Collins Aerospace such as:

Materials & Manufacturing Processes  Computer Aided Design  Industrial Engineering  Project management  Engineering Systems   Digital Engineering Lifecycle 

Training:

The curriculum will be delivered through a blended learning approach which will involve some time on the University campus, alongside online teaching (both live and recorded) and workplace activities. Time on campus will be for activity-designed, problem-solving sessions where students get hands-on and interact with peers and teaching staff.

 The objective is to ramp up your capabilities over the first two years and then provide room for employers to make use of these capabilities in the last two years whilst coping with the more complex subjects towards the end of the course.

This is designed also to synchronise with the change in curriculum. Years 1 and 2 are identical for all four standards. In Years 3 and 4, students on different pathways follow their route through the specialist subjects, culminating in a year-long work-based project to achieve a bachelor's degree.

Throughout the degree, you will also participate in work-based learning (WBL) modules at all levels. The objective of the WBL activities is to make the degree journey a unique experience for each student and to provide specific guidance on how to make the learning work for you.

Training Outcome:
We recognise that your development is key for you to fulfil your potential in the world of work. That’s why we’ve created a programme that will support your learning to deliver real business value.
