LB Bentley have a robust Apprenticeship Programme in place and have a number of different types of apprentices throughout the business, from technical apprenticeships to business based apprenticeships.
We are actively recruiting for Engineering Technician Apprentices to start their apprenticeship in September 2024. This is a four year apprenticeship with the first year being full time with a Gloucester based training provider, and the subsequent years learning in our manufacturing facility based in Stroud, with additional specialist college based training and learning. This is an NVQ Level 3 qualification, with the opportunity for further learning for right candidate.
We look for a minimum of five GCSE, level 4 or above, in Maths, English and Science (plus 2 more subjects). The candidate must have a strong aptitude for maths with an interest in finding out how things work.
