Project Design Apprentice

Successfully complete academic studies at the appropriate level:

Gain a good understanding of the supporting departments, i.e., design, purchasing, manufacturing, planning, etc. To support other engineers in helping them develop thermal solutions and R&D equipment by 3D CAD modelling and creating 2D drawings. This may also involve raising PO Requests for materials, equipment and the subsequent assistance for prototype builds and tests. To develop product test skills in relation to products manufactured by Boyd. This will involve testing products and also assisting to develop test equipment. To provide technical assistance to other engineers when required. To work with due regard to Health and Safety requirements. To ensure that 5S and other Lean Principles and processes are adhered to. 

Training:
Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Development Competence) - Technical Support.

Training Outcome:
An apprenticeship allows you to earn a wage, gain valuable work experience and industry-specific competence. Potential for full-time employment on successful completion of the apprenticeship. Transferable skills that are invaluable in the wider world of work.

Employer Description:
Boyd is the world's leading innovator in sustainable engineered material and thermal solutions that make our customers’ products better, safer, faster, and more reliable. We develop and combine technologies to solve ambitious performance targets in our customers’ most critical applications. By implementing technologies and material science in novel ways to seal, protect, cool, and interface, Boyd has continually redefined the possible and championed customer success for over 90 years. Innovation demands for smaller, lighter, and faster technologies with intuitive new features compete with the need for more sustainable solutions. More smart functionality operating faster in tighter spaces with more sophisticated interfaces mean increased power density and more heat, electrical, and mechanical challenges. Adding further complexity, devices are used in unpredictable environments with harsh conditions and must be contaminant and waterproof, insulated against temperature extremes, and ruggedized. Not only are we determined to find solutions to these challenges, Boyd strives to simplify where possible and create the most wholistic, effective, and sustainable solutions.
