Vehicle Maintenance Apprentice

**Position Summary**:
At FedEx our workforce is our future. With that in mind we are expanding our industry recognised Heavy Vehicle Technician Apprentice Scheme.

We believe that our strengths come from our differences, and we actively invest in recruiting and retaining a diverse and inclusive workforce that reflects the communities we serve.

As a Heavy Vehicle Technician Apprentice, you will form part of a professional on-site engineering team maintaining our large and varied fleet of trucks, vans and trailers.
To ensure this diverse fleet is serviced and maintained to the highest standards we are looking for driven, enthusiastic, and self-motivated individuals to join our team. Vehicle repair is challenging, hands-on work - every vehicle will present a new problem to solve but you’ll feel satisfied when the job is done, and the vehicle is back on the road.

**We are interested to hear from people with any of these qualities**:

- Passion for Engineering
- Ability to demonstrate a good mechanical aptitude
- Good communication skills both written and verbal
- Proactive, highly motivated, and keen to develop new skills
- Numerate with good attention to detail
- Ability to multi-task
- GCSE’s Grade 4 or above in Maths and English
- Willingness to commit to a 3-year college apprenticeship programme

With the support of our Engineering Team, you will learn new skills and work towards City & Guilds Level 3 Heavy Vehicle Service and Maintenance accreditation. If successful in completing the apprenticeship you will then be given the opportunity to join the team as Vehicle Maintenance Technician. This is a superb opportunity to join a leading organisation and secure a career in Vehicle Engineering.

**Some of the tasks you will be working on include**:

- Vehicle servicing
- Safety inspections
- Suspension repairs
- Brake inspections and repairs
- Heavy vehicle repairs
- General maintenance of a heavy vehicle

As part of your qualification, you will attend off site residential training for periods of time which will require overnight stays.

Do you have the passion and the commitment to become a fully skilled Vehicle Maintenance Technician?

Diversity & Inclusion is more than the workplace. It’s the cultures we celebrate, the dreams we inspire, and creating a global community where everyone is accepted. At FedEx, diversity and inclusion happens because we do it together.

**Pay Rates**
Year One £7.26 per hour rising each year of the apprenticeship programme.

**Working Hours**
Mon - Fri 08:00 - 17:00 with one hour lunch break (40 hrs per week)

Our Philosophy

The People-Service-Profit philosophy (P-S-P) describes the principles that govern every FedEx decision, policy or activity. FedEx takes care of our people; they, in turn, deliver the impeccable service demanded by our customers, who reward us with the profitability necessary to secure our future. The essential element in making the People-Service-Profit philosophy such a positive force for the company is where we close the circle, and return these profits back into the business, and invest back in our people. Our success in the industry is attributed to our people. Through our P-S-P philosophy, we have a work environment that encourages team members to be innovative in delivering the highest possible quality of service to our customers. We care for their well-being, and value their contributions to the company.

Our Culture

Our culture is important for many reasons, and we intentionally bring it to life through our behaviors, actions and activities in every part of the world. The FedEx culture and values have been a cornerstone of our success and growth since we began in the early 1970’s. While other companies can copy our systems, infrastructure and processes, our culture makes us unique and is often a differentiating factor as we compete and grow in today’s global marketplace.
