Electro-Mechanical Engineering Degree Apprenticeship

• You'll begin by working alongside experienced engineers, developing a strong understanding of the Design Engineer role and its application within the naval and defence sector. As your skills and knowledge develop, you'll take on increasing responsibility, contributing directly to projects that support Submarines, Surface Ships, and advanced Communications technologies.
• Throughout the programme, you’ll develop crucial skills in electrical and mechanical design, requirements definition, use of test equipment and hand tools, and more. You’ll gradually take on more responsibility, supported every step of the way by your team and mentor.
• Whether you're problem-solving with colleagues or applying theory to practice, you'll build your skills while contributing to meaningful projects.

Upon successful completion of your apprenticeship, you'll have the opportunity to move into a substantive role, typically as an Assistant Engineer or Engineer within one of our engineering disciplines.

Apprentices who complete the programme can expect a competitive starting salary, alongside opportunities to pursue professional registration and chartership, supported by experienced mentors and industry professionals.
