What will the apprentice be doing?
An opportunity to interact with like-minded individuals of differing engineering disciplines on products and play a key role in new product development. Example work includes - but not limited to - cost value analysis of existing product to reduce cost and simplify design, production cell optimisation (kaizen), fault-finding and problem solving (especially in production), mechanical component design for new products. This role offers varied experiences with many challenges to expand and learn from.
What training will the apprentice take and what qualification will the apprentice get at the end?
You will achieve a B(Eng) Mechanical Engineering (Hons) Degree, studying one day a week at the University of Chichester (Bognor Regis Campus) during each academic year.
What is the expected career progression after this apprenticeship?
Due to the size and global nature of Parker, excellent opportunities for progression exist, both within the growing Parker Condition Monitoring business unit but also the wider corporation.
