We specialise in the development of novel sensor technologies, high-powered electro-mechanical devices, and high-pressure and temperature applications used in well monitoring, intervention and abandonment. One of our key product lines seeks to reduce the cost of plug & abandonment of end-of-life wells as the output from oil & gas declines.
As well as gaining practical experience, you'll have the opportunity to broaden your foundational knowledge and develop your skills in problem-solving and teamwork.
While at work, you'll support the Mechanical Design team with all aspects of mechanical design work, acquiring a comprehensive understanding of customer specifications and helping to develop cost effective design solutions. This will involve:
Computer Aided Design using SolidWorks
Theoretical analysis and mathematical modelling in support of concept development and design verification
Understanding engineering materials and manufacturing processes for complex machined parts
Building prototypes to test their function
Documenting appropriate experiments and tests
Writing detailed technical documentation
Sourcing components and liaising with suppliers
Designing simple electrical and electronic circuits
Integration of electro-mechanical systems and software interfacing
Training:You'll achieve a BEng(Hons) in Mechanical Engineering with Manufacturing degree, accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), and benefit from UWE's industry-standard facilities and equipment in their state-of-the-art engineering building.Training Outcome:On completion of your apprenticeship, you will work as a Mechanical Design Engineer, following potential pathways to a senior technical role in engineering consultancy or a leadership role in engineering research & development.
We will provide financial support and mentoring to help you qualify either as a Chartered Engineer (CEng) or Incorporated Engineer (IEng). You will have the opportunity to do varied work with increasing responsibilities, that will help you demonstrate the core competencies required for engineering chartership.Employer Description:Since we formed in 2009, we have gained a global client base as experts in our field. Our business operates at the cutting edge of engineering innovation. You'll benefit from working in a small team and a dynamic environment with ample opportunities for cross-collaboration.
