Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom GE Aviation Full time
Job Description Summary

As a Manufacturing Engineering Apprentice, you will embark on a 4-year rotational scheme within our Cheltenham-based Supply Chain. This program will enable you to gain a comprehensive understanding of end-to-end manufacturing processes through the lens of a Manufacturing Engineer. You will study a combined Electrical and Mechanical Level 4 HNC and Level 5 HND, which will equip you with the skills to excel as a Manufacturing Engineer. You will learn to apply 'Lean' principles to improve shop floor processes and develop problem-solving techniques to drive innovation. A key aspect of the program is learning to integrate new equipment purchases and sustain our competitive advantage. Our apprenticeship focuses on supporting your personal and professional development, while providing opportunities to grow within a global leading business in the aerospace industry.

About GE Aviation

At GE Aviation, we are advancing aviation technologies for today and tomorrow. Your work will contribute to the production of advanced jet engines, components, and integrated systems that power commercial and military aircraft. You'll be part of a team that values your drive, curiosity, and unique ideas and perspectives. Most importantly, you'll share in our pride and purpose that affects the lives of millions around the world.

Manufacturing is a critical component of our work at GE Aviation. Our Manufacturing and Logistics teams consistently strive to deliver high-quality components and assemblies to the highest standards. If you're passionate about hands-on work and advancing flight for future generations, this is the team for you.

Role Profile

As a Manufacturing Engineering Apprentice, you will be based within our 600+ person Supply Chain, at our Bishops Cleeve, Cheltenham site. Throughout your 4-year apprenticeship, you will complete your HNC/D study at Gloucestershire Engineering Training, located in Gloucester. Teaching is typically delivered via 1-day college release, during typical term times. Some of the typical modules that will be delivered during the apprenticeship include:

  • Managing a professional project
  • Implementing quality improvement processes
  • Sustainability
  • Lean manufacturing, and more

These learnings are underpinned with Electrical Digital and Mechanical principles. We also support your personal and professional development, which is why you will be given the opportunity to build your network and develop soft skills. At GE Aviation, we see personal development as a key driver of success at a business level. Therefore, apprentices are given additional time to complete 'off the job learning' when on site. We aim to arrange team-building activities during non-teaching time to help continue to develop your skills.

Our apprentice community participates in, and often leads, enrichment teams and activities that help to connect apprentices across different schemes. This is with a view to giving back to the business and local community. You will have access to mentors and may wish to join one of GE Aviation's employee-run networks, such as Women's network, STEM, Pride Alliance, Including & Diversity, and more.

As an apprentice, you will be supported by your Apprentice Manager, Rotation Managers, and the wider apprentice network, to ensure you are meeting the requirements of your course and getting the most out of your apprenticeship. Apprentices who complete this scheme have the transferable skills needed to work across the manufacturing and engineering disciplines, therefore, roll-off opportunities are not limited.
