Advanced Apprentice Manufacturing: Mechatronics Maintenance Technician - Electric Propulsion Ma

Apprenticeship Overview

During your apprenticeship, you'll spend a significant portion of your first year at Make UK based in Aston, Birmingham (B6 7EU
). Your typical hours at the training provider will be from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM Monday – Thursday and reduced hours on Friday's; you will receive a confirmed timetable upon joining us. Here you'll be assigned an Industrial Training Manager (ITM) and a JLR early careers cohort leader to support you throughout your apprenticeship journey.

In your first year, you’ll focus on building your foundational knowledge of engineering and essential workplace competencies to ensure safety. You’ll spend time in workshops developing practical skills such as welding, electrical installation, milling, and fault finding. You’ll also take part in regular plant placements where you’ll have the opportunity to apply these newly acquired skills in a real‑world environment and begin studying your Level 3 BTEC qualification.

In your second year, you’ll divide your time between your workplace and block release at your training provider. During this time, you’ll continue your Level 3 BTEC qualification and put your academic knowledge into action while working on site.

In your third year you will develop your skills in the plant and continue working toward your BTEC qualification, focusing on developing your skills beyond the basics and working on real‑world projects on‑site at JLR.

In your final year, you’ll complete your apprenticeship and prepare for your End Point Assessment, supported every step of the way by your Early Careers Cohort Leader and ITM. This will consist of a technical interview and an opportunity to showcase your portfolio of the work you have undertaken at JLR.

Please note the delivery structure may be subject to change and will be confirmed upon joining us.

This exciting programme is designed to help you build practical skills, deepen your technical knowledge, and develop key workplace behaviours such as teamwork and problem‑solving.

For this apprenticeship you will be based in our EPMC Plant team in Wolverhampton.

The EPMC is a state‑of‑the‑art, purpose‑built manufacturing facility producing a range of propulsion systems that form the heart of all our vehicles. It produces both traditional internal combustion engines and is in the process of launching new products, such as EDU (Electric Drive Units) and Battery packs which will support our transition to our all‑electric future.

As a member of the team, you will rapidly develop your problem‑solving skills as you learn to read and interpret relevant data and documentation used to maintain components, equipment and systems, whilst conducting monitoring and maintenance activities across the plant. You will also carry out complex fault diagnosis and repair on high‑technology systems such as mechanical equipment, fluid and pneumatic power equipment, process control equipment and robotic and laser‑marking devices to effectively rectify automated performance and contribute to continuous improvement.

With our transition towards electrification, you will be working on the latest technology in an exciting new environment that fuels our sustainable future.

You will need to have achieved or be on track to achieve GCSE Maths and English Language at level 4 (C) or higher. You will also need three further GCSEs at level 4 (C) or higher, including one STEM (science, technology, engineering or maths) subject or an Engineering vocational qualification at level 3/90 credits/540 GLH or higher.

We value new and diverse talent, unconstrained and innovative thinking, and fresh insights and perspectives to support us in developing class‑leading products. An interest in manufacturing is desirable, along with real excitement and passion to help JLR deliver next‑generation…
