Electrical Manufacturing Apprenticeship

As part of our workshop team, you'll be involved in everything from assembling and wiring electrical components to testing systems and learning how to spot faults before they become problems. You'll get to grips with a variety of hand and power tools and build your understanding of how different systems work.

Every day brings something new. You could be based in the workshop assembling and wiring components or supporting the testing and inspection of equipment before it’s delivered to our customers. As your experience grows, there may also be opportunities to visit customer sites and see how the systems you’ve helped build are used in real-world environments.

Throughout your apprenticeship, safety will be central to everything you do. You’ll learn how to apply best practice manufacturing and testing techniques while being guided and supported by colleagues who want to see you succeed.

It is a practical, rewarding role that builds real-world skills for a meaningful future. 

Training:

As part of your apprenticeship, you'll study for the Level 3 Engineering Fitter Apprenticeship Standard through Loughborough College. Training will take place one day per week during term time, supported by regular reviews with your college assessor and workplace mentor.

You’ll also complete progress reviews every 12 weeks, with opportunities for feedback, professional discussions, and practical assessments both in college and on site.

Training Outcome:

By the end of your apprenticeship, you’ll be ready to take on the role of Electrical Manufacturing Technician. You’ll have the core technical and practical skills to work safely and effectively on real engineering projects.

Upon programme completion, you can expect to earn a competitive salary exceeding £33,000.

From there, your development doesn’t stop. Through the Babcock Role Framework, you’ll have a clear view of how your career can progress, with mapped-out pathways, development opportunities and the tools you need to get wherever you want to go.
