How The Apprenticeship Works
If you’re already working for Stagecoach and looking to kick-start your career in Body and Coachbuilding, then our Trade Up Body & Coachbuilding Apprenticeship is the best place to start.
This opportunity is suitable for any current role you hold. The apprenticeship will equip you with the knowledge and skills to become a world-class Body and Coachbuilder, helping you achieve your career and financial goals, and providing a lifelong trade.
Unlike other schemes, the Stagecoach Apprenticeship offers unlimited support, including a dedicated mentor throughout the 4 years. You will meet regularly with Managers and Engineering Directors for advice and guidance.
Programs are available at Barrow in Furness, starting in August or September each year. All candidates will undertake similar tasks regardless of the vehicle profile of their fleet, ensuring equal opportunities.
What you can expect to learn:
* Health and Safety
* Tools & equipment
* Welding, glazing, and painting
* Removing and refitting body panels
* Repairing damage to body panels
* Interior repairs, including seats and flooring
* Vehicle preparation and masking for painting
Training includes practical, hands-on experience and attendance at a specialised college in Glasgow to achieve a body-specific apprenticeship standard.
The final year features an award-winning, bespoke program certified by the Institute of the Motor Industry, paired with an experienced mentor to consolidate skills.
Upon completion, members can join the Society of Operations Engineers, further enriching their professional journey.
Benefits:
Many of our Directors and Managers started as apprentices. Benefits include:
* Competitive salary, pension, and opportunities for overtime
* Membership to the Society of Operations Engineers
* Job security for life and career confidence
* Additional perks like discounts, holidays, and free bus travel for you and a companion
Application Requirements:
* Reliability, punctuality, enthusiasm
* Good communication and analytical skills
* GCSE grade C or above in English, Maths, Science, or equivalent, or willingness to gain these during the apprenticeship
