Engineering Apprentice (Maintenance) – Kickstart your career with hands-on engineering
Love figuring out how things work?
If you’re the kind of person who enjoys fixing, building, and problem-solving, this is your chance to learn a trade for real — on real equipment, alongside experienced engineers, while working towards a DualLevel 3engineering qualification.
At Lucideon, our scientists solve real world material science problems – including aerospace, construction and pharmaceuticals – and our engineering team play a vital role in keeping those critical processes and analytical equipment running across our UK sites.
What You’ll Be Doing (and Learning)
As part of the Engineering team, you’ll gain hands-on experience in:
You won’t just be “watching and learning” — you’ll be building confidence through real tasks and real responsibility, with support around you.
You’ll Learn How To
You’ll Study For a Level 3 Dual Maintenance Engineering Qualification With The Stoke-on-Trent College, Starting September 2026, Combining Academic Learning With Practical Experience
You’ll need:
You don’t need years of experience — we’ll teach you. What matters most is your attitude.
You’ll Be a Great Fit If You’re
