It is important for Simpsons Malt to have the best people to sustain our business as it grows. 
We are therefore looking for 2 motivated individuals to join our Engineering Apprenticeship Programme.

This is a hands-on opportunity to earn while you learn, gain industry-recognised qualifications and build a long-term career in engineering. The start date will be early September 2026, and the apprenticeships will begin January 2027.

Overview:

The apprentices will gain practical training with experienced engineers as they complete a Swarm REAGIT Level 3 Maintenance and Operations Engineering Technician Standard Apprenticeship.

Typical Tasks:

The roles and responsibilities do not limit duties, and the Company may require the apprentices from time to time to do any work within their capacity to support the collective ambition of the business including, but not limited to, holidays and absence of others.

• Carry out installation, commissioning, inspection, maintenance and repair activities.
• Fault-finding and repair of systems and equipment.
• Modify, repair or replace plant, systems and equipment.
• Participate in risk assessments as part of safe system of work.
• Interpret technical drawings.
• Prepare reports on work done.

Entry requirements:

• 3 GCSEs at grade 9 to 4 (A* to C) or BTEC including English, Mathematics and Science, or equivalent, or relevant experience.

Future prospects: 

It is hoped that the apprentices will progress into roles within the Engineering Department. The training will consist of a mix of working on site with our Maintenance Technicians and block release at college initially and then at various stages throughout the apprenticeships.

The Level 3 Maintenance and Operations Engineering Technician Standard will meet the professional standards of the Engineering Council for registration as Engineering Technician (Eng Tech) by an appropriate Professional Engineering Institution.

Dependent on employer requirements, progression onto higher level qualifications (HNC, HND, Degree) or a Higher/Degree Apprenticeship.

Applications are encouraged from local candidates.
