At Biffa, we love working with waste.

Help us make a difference as an Engineering Apprentice (Mechatronics) at Biffa in Teeside.

The Engineering Technician Apprenticeship (Mechatronics pathway) is a 3 - 4 year programme where you will learn a wide range of skills in electrical, mechanical and controls.

BLOCK RELEASE: During year 1, you will spend term-time at Sunderland College, combined with short periods of time embedding your new skills on site. Subsequent years will primarily be spent on site, but college attendance will still be required.

On successful completion, you will gain a formal and recognised Level 3 qualification. Graduates will also have the necessary experience and qualifications to obtain EngTech status with the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
