As an Apprentice, you will be working towards the achievement of an apprenticeship standard, with defined knowledge, skills and behaviour criteria that will be developed throughout your programme with us and your training provider. Siemens Mobility is a division of Siemens. Siemens Mobility has four core business units: Mobility Management, dedicated to rail technology and intelligent traffic systems, Railway Electrification, Rolling Stock, and Customer Services. In Rail, we enable operators to shape today’s and tomorrow’s passenger and freight transportation - with trains, infrastructure, automation and electrification solutions, turnkey systems as well as related services. That covers trams, light rail, metro, commuter and regional trains, high-speed and very high-speed trains. In Rolling Stock, public transportation must ensure that passengers are transported safely and comfortably while also meeting economic and environmental requirements. And passengers expect a comprehensive offering of information, entertainment and communication.

With major maintenance depots at Three Bridges and Hornsey, plus an extensive outstation network spanning Bedford to Brighton and Cambridge to Littlehampton, you’ll experience the scale and complexity of fleet maintenance first-hand.
