Job Description

Looking for a great start to your career in technology, earning and learning on a professionally accredited, award-winning scheme? We are looking to recruit the experts of the future on our nationally recognised, award-winning Apprenticeship Programme.



Our four-year Craft Maintenance Apprenticeship provides a wealth of learning and development opportunities. By the end of the scheme trainees will have completed a Level 2 Vocational qualification in Machining, a Level 3 qualification in Electrotechnical Maintenance, as well as a Level 3 qualification in Engineering Maintenance.



Role description:



The Apprenticeship will start with an Induction into Leonardo, followed by a team building event at an offsite location (incorporating all Trainee starts).  There will also be a Yeovil College Induction to ensure that apprenticeship requirements and expectations are fully established.



Working with world-leading specialists, you will increase your technical skills and capability, and develop your academic and practical understanding of the diverse world that is manufacturing & supply chain.



The Leonardo Helicopters plant and equipment cover a vast array of machines from large machining centres through to composite press tools and autoclaves.  The structure of the Apprenticeship programme will be as follows:




  • Year 1: Full time at Yeovil College with the possibility of working on-site in your placement at Leonardo Helicopters for 1 day a week post-Christmas

  • During years 2, 3 & 4, apprentices will follow a structured placement programme designed to ensure broad practical experience is gained in the required competences



Please note depending on the progress of the individual the apprenticeship could take 5 years to complete.



Each Apprentice on this route will need to complete an End Point Assessment as defined in the Apprenticeship Standard, this will take place in the final months of the program.



How this role fits in:




  • Leonardo represents a unique opportunity for a career-minded person to have the best of both worlds; a challenging role with career development prospects and a quality of life that is hard to equal

  • Apprentices follow a structured placement programme designed to ensure broad experience is gained in the required competences.  Apprentices work with skilled individuals in each work placement to learn the required skills, knowledge and behaviour



Key Responsibility Areas:




  • Apprentices will work towards becoming a 'skilled' maintenance engineer on completion of their apprenticeship

  • Post-apprenticeship there are possibilities to progress through the grading structure and adopt additional responsibilities

  • Throughout the apprenticeship, apprentices will be carrying out maintenance work across site and/or within the Transmissions department as part of the Transmissions or Site maintenance departments


Personal Qualities :

  • Please note that in order to apply for this opportunity you must be eligible for UK Security Clearance. Normally this is to the level of Security Check (typically known as “SC”) for our business



Skills Required :

  • Practical hands-on engineering skills (though these will be developed)

  • Interest in engineering and aircraft

  • Adaptability

  • Confidence

  • Teamwork

  • Time Management

  • Proactivity

  • Attention to detail
