Apprentice Technician at University of Warwick

About the Role  

For informal enquiries, please contact Adrian Seymour (Technical and Building Services Manager) at [email protected]

Up to two Apprentice Technician roles available to start September 2026, working towards a Level 4 qualification over a four-year period.

We are offering an exciting opportunity to join a well established university department through our four-year modern Technical Apprenticeship Programme. As part of the School’s Technical Services team, you’ll play a vital role in supporting academics, students and our leading research projects.

The Apprenticeship is a Level 4 four year programme to become an Engineering Manufacturing Technician. Our anticipated apprenticeship provider is Warwickshire College. This apprenticeship combines academic progression with hands-on experience, with you being paid while you learn. You'll gain practical skills and in-depth knowledge by working with an experienced technical team and becoming part of a newly established apprentice community.

These apprenticeships are full time (36.5hrs a week), comprising three days working on site on the University campus in Coventry, and two days of attendance – one practical and one theory - at Warwickshire College in Rugby and Leamington Spa. You will need to be able to travel to these sites independently in time to commence work from 8am and timetabled college sessions.

About You  

We’re looking for individuals who have a combination of technical and softer skills. You will:

• Have a genuine interest in engineering and technology, with some hands-on experience (formal or informal) in areas like mechanical work, electronics, or similar technical projects.
• Are curious to understand how things work, with a logical mind that enjoys problem-solving.
• Have a proactive approach to learning, demonstrating initiative and willingness to develop new knowledge and skills.
• Work well with others, are team players and customer focused.
• Can follow instructions and guidelines, and deliver work independently.
• Are confident to ask questions and seek feedback to enhance learning.
