This exciting apprenticeship is for training and knowledge transfer of the engineering expertise within the group, to allow for planned retirements of key technical members of staff. The apprenticeship will cover both a technician role and a design engineering role and so is ideally suited to someone with an interest in both technical engineering but with a practical / hands-on approach to work. Although it will eventually become a true engineer role, the grounding for this industry is based on a practical understanding of the core products.
Wraith Engineering Ltd., the sponsor company, is in Gloucestershire but the apprenticeship will be based at Gerotor Design Studio in Leyland, Lancashire. This is for both a strategic geographical reason (centrally placed between all UK based companies) and because there is daily engineering mentoring available. It is envisaged that the role will involve travel to the other UK sites as well as to the USA to learn about the products and the industry in general. In time this role will carry a lot of responsibility, and you will be a key member of the group of companies.
Initial Tasks / Duties for Year 1:
Familiarisation with the WCW Group products, how the business works and the various partners within the Group
A grounding in Engineering Design (apprentice course, engineering mentor and company technical experts)
Assistance in problem solving for design and manufacture related issues
Practical knowledge of the products produced and serviced by the Group
Duties / tasks later in apprenticeship, with more experience and help from line manager:
Developing new compressor products
Engaging with the whole supply chain to help create smooth and rapid workflows
Training at Group sites
In addition to the course content provided by Training 2000, you will be trained how to use CAD systems for creating models and drawings of existing and new components. Analysis techniques of components and systems will also be given.
This apprenticeship will provide you with a good all-round engineering knowledge and we are looking for someone with an enthusiastic and inquisitive nature, who has an interest in mechanical design and a pro-active, practical approach to work.
Please be aware that the apprenticeship location is Leyland and the college location is Blackburn. You will be expected to make your own travel arrangements to both site and college.Training:Qualification to be delivered: Engineering and Manufacturing Support Technician Level 3 Apprenticeship Standard
