Our Apprenticeship Scheme
Come and do the kind of engineering that got you interested in being an engineer; whether that be mechanical, electrical or electronic. Stretch your technical skills while building human understanding. Promote sustainability and support the creation of new materials. And, alongside world-leading scientists and technologists, shape projects that improve lives, and daily life, in the UK and far beyond.
Our 4-year advanced engineering apprenticeship is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, and is a great way to start your engineering career. We can offer this programme at both our Rutherford Appleton Laboratory site in Oxfordshire and at our Daresbury Laboratory in Cheshire.
The first year is spent with a training provider where you will learn fundamental hand-skills and the basics of engineering.
In years 2 to 4 you will continue your apprenticeship, either at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire or at our Daresbury Laboratory in Cheshire; learning by being directly involved with projects in our exciting facilities, as well as continuing your academic studies on day or block release.
We also offer 4-year apprenticeship programmes at the UK Astronomy Technology Centre in Edinburgh, following the relevant Scottish curriculum.
We offer both rotational engineering apprentices, where you will formally undertake placements in various departments, and apprenticeships where you will remain within one department. This is described on each job advertisement.
Come and do the kind of computing that got you excited about technology in the first place. Work with cutting-edge tech and world-leading scientists and engineers. Harness the power of some of the country's most advanced supercomputers to tackle work that improves daily life in the UK and far beyond.
Computing is essential to the science that STFC supports. We need keen individuals to support us in the development of new software and systems. We routinely recruit computing apprentices to work at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (Oxfordshire) and at Daresbury Laboratory (Cheshire).
You will be based in a group with computing professionals in one of the STFC departments. During the apprenticeship scheme, you will gain a diverse range of experience and you may rotate between several departments. This will complement formal training and is developed to support you as you work towards a BSc (Hons) Digital and Technology Solutions Degree.
Other apprenticeship opportunities include ICT Infrastructure Support, Business Administration, Project Management, Electrical Installation, Heating & Ventilation and Carpentry.
These apprenticeships are key to keeping our world-class science estates and projects running at optimum and you’ll have the opportunity to see it all up close whilst working with dedicated professionals and developing your skills.
Apprenticeship opportunities are advertised from February each year and are advertised on the UKRI Careers Portal, Indeed, the National Apprenticeship Service website, the UCAS website and also on our social media pages.
