What Does a Land-Based Engineer Do?

• Year 3: Take on increased responsibilities, including advising on machinery repairs for customers and diagnosing complex faults. Again, you'll spend 10 weeks at college, away from home.

We offer a competitive starting salary of £16,000 in the first year, increasing to approximately £26,000 upon qualification. You'll receive on-the-job training alongside a college education leading to a nationally recognised “Land-Based Engineer – Technical Level 3”qualification.
