Would you like to be part of a team with a strong sense of unity and trust who will support you through your apprenticeship? We are seeking talented people who are interested in beginning their career in engineering through our fully funded, structured Engineering Apprenticeship Programme.
Your role As an Apprentice Engineer, you will study for an industry recognised engineering qualification at Level 7 and gain hands-on experience which allows you to develop your skills and knowledge to develop a great career and an opportunity to extend your qualifications to HNC. You will spend the first year of the programme attending City of Glasgow College and, from the second year onwards, whilst continuing to learn new skills through our training provider, you will work alongside experienced engineers to carry out planned and preventative maintenance on all our plant and machinery, including heavy plant, cranes and process technology.
You will receive mentoring and support from a dedicated team of engineers, who are passionate about ensuring we are able to work efficiently and safely, who will nurture your skills to help you grow and thrive. You will gain experience to become proficient in mechanical and electrical engineering as well as welding and rigging, to enable you to become an integral member of a multi-skilled team of engineers.
What you'll bring You will already have gained, a minimum of 5 National 5 qualifications or equivalent at Grade C or above, including Mathematics, English and Science.
You will have strong verbal and written communication skills and will be able to demonstrate effective team working as well as being self motivated to work independently.

You will also demonstrate a commitment to your own personal development.
It is essential that you are comfortable working at heights and in confined spaces as this will be part of both your training and your ongoing role.
Who are we? Already one of the UKs leading port and logistics companies, we are planning substantial capital investment over the next 5 years to achieve our vision of becoming the UKs leading port operator. We have ambitious plans to grow and transform the supply chain to benefit our customers. Our investmentsare decarbonizing our operations, which in turn is helping us work towards our goal of having Net Zero Port Operations by 2040. Much of our success depends on our unrivalled facilities and technology. But in our sector, it comes down to having the right talent to enable our organisation to grow.
What we can offer you In addition to a competitive salary, we have a strong track record of developing our people to expand their skills and experience and develop their careers.
