Job Description

Believe there's more than one way to secure a successful future?

So do we. We think Siemens Degree Apprenticeships are the best alternative to university for ambitious students. Our International Tech Apprenticeship is an exciting opportunity allowing you to discover another culture and life outside the UK with Siemens at our offices in Berlin. It will also enable you to support key infrastructure projects within the business.

Our apprenticeship programme runs for approximately 6 years starting on 1st August 2019 with intensive German training. In Year 1 & 2 your placements will be in the Siemens plants in Berlin, Germany. In Year 3 you will have a placement in your home business to prepare you for your return to the UK.

Following that, you will integrate into the Digital Factory UK degree apprenticeship scheme where you will join one of our engineering teams within either the customer services department in Manchester or our electronics manufacturing facility in Congleton.

This is a rare opportunity to earn money while showing your potential to a global innovator. Here at Siemens we build a better world using greener energy, cutting-edge software and ingenious inventions.

The two opportunities; mechatronics engineering for people looking to work at our award winning Digital Factory facility in Congleton and one in electrical/electronic engineering for people excited by the prospect of working at our Customer Services Headquarters location in Manchester, will both lead you to a BEng in Control and Automation.

·  Act at all times as an ambassador for the business, building and maintaining good relationships with customers, colleagues and managers
·  Undertaking other duties which the company may from time to time reasonably request.
What do I need to qualify for this job?

·  To be eligible for the scheme candidates must be able to demonstrate citizenship within an EU country

What else do I need to know?

This apprenticeship is a dual location scheme with the first half being based in Berlin and running for 3 years. In Year 3 you can expect a placement in your home country (that must be part of the European Union). Therefore, please only apply if you are excited by the prospect of living overseas for a few years. On completion of your apprenticeship you will return to your home country and work in one of our local operating companies. You will also be expected to do occasional shift work and over time as well as local UK travel to both customer and different Siemens UK sites.

As an international tech apprentice you will also be assigned a mentor to provide you with continual support. They will aid your development by increasing your exposure within the business, supporting your personal development and providing constructive feedback throughout the scheme.
