At ABP Doncaster, we are now looking for the next generation of talented engineers to undertake our Apprenticeship Scheme.

Our Engineering Apprenticeship is a well-structured 4-year programme which will see you qualify as a Multi-skilled Maintenance Engineer, with an OAL Level 3 qualification in Food & Drink Engineering Maintenance. Working in partnership with a large national apprenticeship provider, our apprentices spend time at their facilities on a block release, roughly 10 - 20 weeks per year. This means spending time away from home to be fully submerged into your practical experience.

Then, it's time to get back to site and put your new knowledge into practice. You'll be working closely with the on-site engineering team where you will have a dedicated mentor to support you through every step of your journey.
