  • Electrical or mechanical aptitude.
  • Eagerness to learn and adapt to new technologies, tools, and methodologies in application design.
  • Attention to detail when reviewing design specifications, identifying potential issues, and ensuring accuracy in application development.


Desirable

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to address design challenges and improve application performance.
  • Effective verbal and written communication skills to collaborate with team members and convey technical information clearly.
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a team, contribute ideas, and support senior engineers with project tasks.
  • Basic knowledge of relevant software tools for design, simulation, and documentation.

To be eligible for this apprenticeship, you must have:

  • GCSEs in Maths, English, and an additional STEM subject at grade 4/C or above.
  • A minimum of 112 UCAS points (post-GCSE studies must include STEM subjects, ideally Physics, and an A Level in Maths at grade B).
  • A demonstrable interest in engineering.


No previous experience is required.

Training Provider: The University of Warwick, Coventry - Block release (Training Providers could be subject to change based on availability of course or organisational needs).


During your apprenticeship, you will receive two types of training.


On-the-job training will be delivered by Schneider Electric, your employer. You’ll receive training and supervision to help you perform your role. This will include skills and knowledge that are outside of the apprenticeship but necessary for the job. In addition to ‘on-the-job’ training, they will support you in other ways to ensure your success. Types of support will include:

  • A comprehensive induction
  • Mentoring or regular one-to-one guidance
  • Social enrichment and networking opportunities
  • Performance reviews
  • Mental health and wellbeing support
  • Feedback opportunities

Off-the-job training will be provided by a carefully selected training provider during your normal working hours. You will spend at least 20% of your working hours (approximately 6 hours per week) completing ‘off-the-job’ training. This is protected time and a requirement for apprenticeship delivery. This training will teach you the knowledge, skills, and behaviours outlined in the apprenticeship standard, enabling you to achieve occupational competence.

Upon successful completion of your apprenticeship and depending on your performance, there may be an opportunity for you to transition into a permanent role at Schneider Electric!
  • All applicants must have a permanent right to work in the UK, as Schneider Electric is unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.

Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of Schneider Electric. They are integral to their history, culture, and identity.

Schneider Electric recognises that embracing diversity unlocks innovation and creativity, fostering collaboration. They strive to ensure that their employees reflect the diversity of the communities and customers they serve. As a result, Schneider's teams are stronger and better equipped to drive the company’s future.

Schneider Electric is proud to participate in the Disability Confident Programme, which supports people in the workplace who consider themselves to be living with a disability.
