Level 3 Mechanical Technician Apprenticeship – Energy Industry

As a Mechanical Apprentice, you’ll learn hands-on engineering skills while working alongside experienced technicians, engineers, and scientists across a wide variety of Spadeadam’s client projects. On a typical day, you might:

Help install and maintain industrial pipework and equipment of all sizes, ensure systems are safe through pressure and leak testing, and learn how to work with a variety of gases and fuels. Gain experience operating and maintaining specialist equipment — including cryogenic systems — and play an active part in real project testing. Learn how to read and work from engineering diagrams. Develop a strong understanding of workplace safety, following industry standards and procedures every day.

Training:

Throughout the programme, you will spend 3-4 days each week gaining hands-on experience, working on real projects alongside specialist colleagues at Spadeadam. The remaining time will be spent with our specialist Training Provider in Carlisle. These days are designed to support the development of your practical skills and technical knowledge.

All additional travel costs to the Training Provider in Carlisle are fully covered. However, as this off‑the‑job learning is a critical part of the programme, this regular travel to Carlisle may not suit everyone, so please consider carefully whether you are able to make this long‑term commitment before applying.

Training Outcome:

Following completion of your apprenticeship, there are lots of routes our people choose to take, including specialising in a particular aspect of your role or broadening out your experience into new technical or leadership roles (people, project management or commercial). Whichever route you decide to take, we will support you with mentoring and specialist training and courses as applicable.
