About the role
The Role
GAP Group Apprentices are key in ensuring our Depots have the right level of expertise, today, tomorrow and in future.
As an Apprentice, you will be enrolled in a blended learning programme where you will gain an SVQ Level 3 in Plant Maintenance through a mixture of on-the-job experience and block release training through a leading college.
Our Apprenticeship Programme covers all the essential skills and principles you will need to become a Plant Mechanic. You'll learn how to service and repair machines and equipment, including replacing parts and checking and calibrating instruments. You'll also study everything from basic engineering skills to the latest technological advancements in electro-hydraulics and computerised control systems.
Our Apprenticeship Programme allows you to earn as you learn:
- Apprentices under 18 joining our programme will be required to work a maximum of 39 hours per week with a starting salary of £11,000 per annum.
- Apprentices over 18 will be required to work a maximum of 40 hours per week with a starting salary of £12,000 per annum.
After successful completion of Year 1, you will automatically be placed on the National Minimum Wage rate for your age group, and your salary will increase as you progress through each year of your apprenticeship.
