Responsibilities
A fantastic opportunity to enrol on an apprenticeship programme like no other - you'll gain level 3 engineering qualifications with the support of Marks and Spencer (M&S) and Toyota Manufacturing UK. M&S are working in partnership with Toyota Manufacturing UK to provide training in their 'World Class Toyota Academy', where you will learn about hand tools, welding, machining, robotics, electronics and much more!
The 44 month Maintenance Engineering training programme will be delivered by Toyota Manufacturing UK Ltd, Burton and South Derbyshire college and M&S.
The training programme is in 2 stages:
- Stage 1: Based in the Toyota Academy for 22 months, you will learn engineering technical theory, gain practical skills, and undertake several personal development courses needed to help you commence your career in engineering and maintenance. You will also have some placement weeks within the Marks and Spencer Clothing & Home Distribution Centre in Castle Donington
- Stage 2: You will spend 22 months with Marks and Spencer completing a hands on engineering role learning how to apply your new skills
Duties will include (but not limited to):
- Using hand tools
- Welding
- Using and learning about machining and electronics
- Using power systems
Future Prospects
You will be employed by M&S for the duration of your apprenticeship scheme. After successful completion of the scheme, we anticipate permanent opportunities as a Maintenance Engineer will be available, where your career and development will continue on our Engineering development pathway.
Reality Check
There will be annual pay increases during the scheme and after successful completion.
At M&S Donington, you will follow the appropriate engineering shift pattern to meet the requirements of the role.
