Apprentice Multi-Skilled Shift Engineer
Pontefract (Home of Butterkist popcorn)
Closing date for applications: June 1st 2021 at 10am
We're seeking an astute, ambitious Engineering Apprentice to join our dynamic team based at the Butterkist popcorn factory in Pontefract. Operating on a rotational shift pattern (06:00-14:00/14:00-22:00/22:00-06:00). The Engineering Apprentice will work closely with the site engineering team, the Line structures (in particular the Maintenance Leads) and external integrators to support and maintain the key business systems on-site.
As part of the formal Apprenticeship Scheme, this role will be based in our factory and involves supporting maintenance functions for production, IT and other equipment where necessary.
We have a vision of engineering for Pontefract that it's the gold standard of departments, it role models and sets standard and the Engineering Apprentice will be no different.
Long term the role is aligned to IWS and supports the Maintenance leads in terms of standing in, learning the DMS techniques and championing them. Coaching and encouraging team members to do basic mechanical tasks. We want the apprentice to develop and grow and be responsible for providing the Operations team with engineering expertise and support to reduce or eliminate downtime. This will be done both reactively (resolving breakdowns), proactively (carrying out Planned Maintenance & defect closeout) and through Continuous Improvement (small line changes and minor project work to deliver improvements). Implement approved tasks in consultation with the Maintenance Leads and Area Engineering Manager and initiates corrective actions to reduce downtime and defects
Education
The successful applicant will complete a fully accredited BTEC national and NVQ Level 3 Engineering Systems - Electrical and Mechanical whilst gaining hands-on experience within a Leading European company. There is also the possibility to gain a Higher National Certificate or Foundation degree in Mechanical or Electrical/Electronics.
IWS Introduction
IWS (Intersnack Work System) provides a fully integrated approach to optimise our Supply Chains. IWS is a major investment for all 28 Intersnack plants; it is not a project, it is a long term culture change and methodology - the Intersnack way of working.
IWS focuses on reducing losses through the supply chain; it establishes the best way to do something, and then we repeat it, eliminating variation and waste. IWS gives more decision-making power and autonomy to those closest to the line, increasing employee engagement and allows our people to have ongoing development.
