Engineering Apprentice - 2025 - Hornsey

Engineering Apprentice - 2025

Are you ready to start a fulfilling career in engineering?

 Interested in how things work, and what keeps the UK's largest train operating company running?

 Want to earn while you learn?

Our people choose to work here because of what we can offer you and your career. We're investing in our people, ensuring that they have market leading skills. We're working closely with our communities to ensure that we're having a positive impact on the world around us. We run trains every day of the year and we need a great team to make that happen.

 Engineering Apprenticeships

 Our four-year engineering apprenticeship is a great chance to learn on the job, earning a real salary while you do. You'll gain a nationally recognised qualification with great career prospects. You will spend the majority of the first year at Redhill College, then will rotate around all of our main depots, which are Selhurst, Battersea, Brighton and Hornsey for the remainder of the four years. 

In the depot, you'll learn a wide range of mechanical, electrical and electronic skills. You'll learn fault-finding, testing, maintenance and repair, all backed-up by college study to make sure that everything makes sense. 

Our Team

You'll join a group of apprentices starting at the same time and have their support throughout your apprenticeship. Your dedicated apprenticeship manager (and the rest of the engineering team) are supportive and friendly. The team work closely together, making sure that everyone is getting the most from their journey.

What we look for 

  • We're not looking for previous knowledge or experience of engineering or the railway – just commitment, enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.
  • We do require you to hold or expect to get grade 4 or above in GCSE Maths, English and Science (or equivalent).
  • Demonstrate strong communication skills and practical maths ability.
  • Have an interest in how things work.
  • Be able to travel to East Surrey College for study and to various locations on our network for work.
  • Pass the required medical standards.

 
GTR is committed to equal opportunities and welcomes applications from all suitably qualified candidates who are eligible to work in the UK.
