So do we. We believe our apprenticeship programmes are a fantastic choice for ambitious and hard-working students. Especially as you'll gain a technical and occupational qualification whilst earning a salary as well as the reputation that comes with working for a digital pioneer like Siemens.

Here at Siemens we build a better world using digital skills to create greener energy, ground breaking software and ingenious inventions.

The Intelligent Traffic Systems part of Siemens Mobility Limited designs, markets, manufactures, installs and maintains a wide portfolio of international traffic management products and is the UK market leader in the traffic signal business. This includes intersection and pedestrian traffic controllers, intelligent urban traffic control systems, variable message signs, public transport and car park guidance systems to enhance road safety and improve traffic flow in congested urban and inter-urban areas.

We are recruiting candidates to join our Factory apprenticeship scheme who want to make a difference and develop their skills in Manufacturing and Engineering.

The challenge

Part of being an apprentice at Siemens means you get to work on real life projects whilst also being supported on a guided learning journey.

Here is how the programme works:

·  Year 1 and 2: You will be based at our state-of-the-art Factory in Poole. Experienced mentors within each area will provide you with support and guidance as well as enabling you to experience the key skills within that area during the placement. You will undertake practical training skills and in a related discipline, work toward a level 2 qualification, which may be conducted locally offsite. After the two year training programme, you will move into a more senior role within the team.

·  Due to the nature of the scheme, it is vital that you are flexible and adaptable to new situations.
·  You will work closely with colleagues, managers and tutors and should be able to manage these relationships well and have good interpersonal skills.
·  Problem solving skills will be taught during the programme but it is up to you to put these into practice and develop the basics that are learnt.
·  You should be aware of health & safety, environmental and quality issues.
·  Trainees must be very practical with a can-do positive attitude who can apply themselves to each task.
·  Previous qualifications should ideally include something practical.
