What is an Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships allow individuals to learn a new role through practical, on-the-job training, combined with study for an industry recognised apprenticeship. Apprentices are paid a wage and on completion of the apprenticeship can often gain a permanent role.
About our apprenticeship programme
Our Apprenticeship Programme helps us grow our own best-in-class engineers to support our demand for field, workshop, and site-based engineers to meet our customers’ needs.
If successful, you will need to commit to a three-year training and development programme to complete your apprenticeship. During the programme, you will learn to inspect, maintain, service and repair all types of material handling equipment including forklift trucks and warehouse equipment.
Training Overview
What do our Apprentices think?
Jonathan Hickin
Jonathan has completed his engineering apprenticeship with us and is now a fully-fledged service engineer working in the Midlands. We caught up with him to find out what he would say to someone considering an apprenticeship.
“Look no further! I think the sheer calibre of training and support speaks volumes with the feedback we receive regarding our services and general customer service. I think that if someone is presented with the opportunity to work with such a brilliant company, is to value the opportunity they have in a future-proof industry. Working with Linde means you’re also offered a plethora of benefits, I have never worked at a company that has made me feel as valued as Linde have.”
