The purpose of this role is to join an ever growing team of fully time served engineers that have worked within the industry for many years. We really take our time at McDowells to make sure that we get the best engineers recruited, that are some of the best engineers in the machine tool industry.

Along with the training you will receive at the AMRC, we will be setting up an inhouse apprentice zone, where we can focus on your AMRC learning on relevant equipment on-site. This along side the calibre of engineers you will be working with on a day-to-day basis throughout your apprenticeship will hopefully put you as a best in class engineer at the end of the 4 years, giving you the confidence you will require in succeeding these engineers in the future.

Principles & Responsibilities:

• You would be joining at the right time, as the posting will be at Sheffield Forgemasters where they are investing at the moment, so you would be learning on both older and the newest technology there is in machine tools
• There are teams of Crane Drivers, they are only permitted to carry out heavy lifts on-site
• A dedicated apprentice zone will be set up for additional training environment
• You will work within the stringent health and safety measures that are set out

You will study on a Level 3 Engineering Technician standard on a Mechatronics Maintenance Technician pathway.  On completion of this, you will gain a qualification in Engineering at Advanced Level 3 standard.

During the first year of the apprenticeship, your learning will take place at the University of Sheffield’s AMRC Training Centre based at Catcliffe, Rotherham, for an initial block of study on a full-time basis. After this, you will attend the Training Centre for one day a week for knowledge study.
