About the role - Engineering Apprentice (4 years)

When Hugh Tennent started brewing a German-style pilsner at the Wellpark Brewery in 1887, it was the first time lager was introduced to the UK. The public loved it. 135 years later, and Tennent’s is still Scotland’s favourite pint.

Today Wellpark brews, packages and ships millions of cans, kegs and bottles of beer every week, including Tennent’s, Caledonia Best and a wide range of other brands. It’s a 24/7 operation, and our Engineering teams are responsible for maintaining all the equipment and plant we use on site. They are looking for an apprentice to join the team, and train as a multi-skilled engineer, covering all aspects of electrical and mechanical maintenance.

So what’s involved?

You’ll be supported by a team of experienced Engineers. They will teach you core engineering principles and give you a good understanding of our production process and the equipment we use to produce our famous beers.  

You can expect to get involved in:

• Learning about our end-to-end production process and the equipment we use for brewing, filtration and packaging
• Assisting the team with preventative and corrective maintenance
• Supporting the team with continuous improvement activities throughout the production facility to prolong machine life, increase efficiency, reduce wastage and aid the smooth running of site
• Identifying innovative solutions to solve mechanical and electrical problems throughout the site
• Following safe working practices to ensure your personal safety and the safety of your colleagues
• Most of your learning will happen on the job, but you’ll also be working towards a qualification. After four years, we hope that you’ll then move into a permanent engineering role and continue to develop and grow your career with us.
