Ever wondered who is behind the UK's most famous landmarks? From the paving in our city centres to the roofs over our heads, Marshalls plc has been leading the way since the 1890s. We are a FTSE 250 Superbrand, but we do more than just manufacture; we create the foundations of the world around us.

So, what's the role?

You won't just be watching from the sidelines; you'll be getting stuck into the mechanics and the "brains" behind our production lines. You will learn how to master heavy industrial machinery, ensuring it runs at peak performance while diagnosing and fixing complex issues as they happen.

It is not all about heavy lifting, though. You will get to grips with the high-tech electrical and software systems that control our sites. Working alongside our experts, you will find clever ways to improve how we work and help us implement the next generation of technical solutions. By the time you finish, you will have the skills to solve almost any engineering challenge we throw at you.

This is a real career path with a clear and supported structure. You will follow a four-year programme delivered in partnership with Bath College, combined with hands‑on mentoring from our site‑based teams.

Year 1

Build your technical skills by attending college 3 days per week at Bath College, and 2 days per week at our manufacturing site at Mells.

Year 2

Develop your practical skills by attending our manufacturing site at Mells for 3 days per week, and 2 days per week at Bath College.

Years 3 to 4

Hands on Experience at our Mells manufacturing site to put your skills into action, you will have a 1-day release per week to attend college and complete your coursework.

The Result

Qualify as a Maintenance Engineer with a permanent job.

Qualifications

• Minimum age 16 years
• Minimum education of at least 4 GCSEs at Grade C/4 or equivalent, including Mathematics, English and a Science.

• You must be able to commute to Bath College and the Mells site for the duration of your apprenticeship. Because of our location, having your own transport is highly recommended.
