Job Overview
Manufacturing Technical Apprentice role at Scottish Apprenticeships. Leonardo offers a range of Apprenticeships from 2–4 years across a variety of STEM and business routes, offering paid training coupled with on‑the‑job learning that enables you to gain practical skills, experience and knowledge that set up the best start to your career. We offer competitive entry salaries and fully support your academic learning through to qualifications, with salary increases as you progress. Whether leaving school or college with GCSEs/Standards, A‑levels/Highers (or equivalent) or currently working and looking for a new career path, you will be fully supported as you rotate within the business working on real‑time projects alongside highly skilled professionals who are passionate about their work. We support you settling into your new location, ensuring you are familiar with the team and receive a warm welcome from day 1. A member of our Apprentice team is at each site, helping you progress, ensuring your study time is protected, enabling access to digital learning and opportunities to get involved with the local community and STEM projects, enhancing many aspects of each programme. Leonardo values people who look to develop constantly throughout their career. With an eager willingness to learn, a successful apprenticeship with us involves a drive to deliver results—sometimes from your own initiative—a patience for problem‑solving, and a need to comply with safety instructions and clear process compliance at all times. We view commitment to programme and learning objectives very highly. Leonardo is an international leader in electronic and information technologies for defence systems, aerospace, data, infrastructure, land security and protection, and sustainable ‘smart’ solutions. You will be working within world‑class facilities. During your apprenticeship you may work in an office or lab environment, or a combination of both. This role fits into Leonardo’s four‑year Manufacturing Technical Apprenticeship, providing a wealth of learning and development opportunities including an HND in Engineering systems, SVQ level 2 (PEO) and SVQ L3 – Diploma in Engineering. Working with world‑leading specialists, you will increase your technical skills, capability and develop your academic and practical understanding of the engineering lifecycle. You will undertake a series of rotational placements that could include the methods of testing industry‑leading radar and laser systems—covering Electronic Testing, Laser Testing, Radar Testing, Legacy Product Testing and Manufacturing Engineering. These placements will give you a broad range of operational experience, although not all may be hiring. During the rotations you will learn how to test complex electrical and mechanical systems to ensure they are safe and reliable. For example, you could work in our state‑of‑the‑art environmental test facility, testing systems under various environmental conditions including altitude, temperature, humidity and vibration. In other departments you could be office‑based, looking at manufacturing processes and how they can be refined to reduce cost or improve build quality. The rotational placement plan truly gives you a flavour of all aspects of engineering verification and test.
