Skills, Knowledge, and Experience:
About you: This is a very hands-on and practical role, so you should be willing to get stuck in. We're looking for someone who is focused and careful in all aspects of work. You'll be able to use your good attention to detail to identify problems and record observations. The ability to think on your feet is crucial due to the environment and nature of the role!
To succeed in this apprenticeship, you'll need bags of enthusiasm, be a fantastic collaborator, and be hungry to learn!
Qualifications: It's about enthusiasm, not school results. In our experience, the most successful apprentices are those who are driven to find out more about the sector, can be upfront about what they do and don't already know, are considerate, self-reflective, and impatient to learn the job role!
Experience: While previous experience is great, we're always open to wildcards. We're not just interested in experience and qualifications; we're looking for someone with the right attitude and aptitude to fit right in at Intertek.
Eligibility: While we never want to hinder your job application process with obstacles, there are some minimum requirements you'll need to meet in order to do an apprenticeship, these are rules set by the UK Government. You'll need to be over 16, not in full-time education, have lived in the UK for 3 years, and have the right to work in the UK.
