The Faculty of Engineering and Physical Science at the University of Southampton is a world-class centre for education, research and enterprise.

We represent the largest and most diverse engineering and physical science grouping in the UK. Our expertise looks deep below the Earth's crust, reaches into space and encompasses everything in between.

We train the audiologists, engineers and scientists of the future through our educational programmes, provide industry with innovative solutions to their problems, and have an impact on society through our world-leading research.

Our technicians underpin all that we do in our University.  The apprenticeships we are offering will provide an exciting opportunity to learn and apply your enthusiasm for engineering and its’ appliance to science, in a vibrant, diverse environment. On successful completion of the apprenticeship you will become a qualified Mechanical Workshop Technician. 

The apprenticeship will be a combination of learning on the job, guided by highly experienced, knowledgeable and skilled technicians together with off the job training/study with our provider SETA.  Along with traditional hand tool and machine tool techniques you will have an opportunity to learn highly desirable skills which are important to us and modern world engineering such as Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM) and 3d printing in an exciting and innovative environment.

We are signatories of the Technician Commitment and have pledged to support technicians in key areas: www.southampton.ac.uk/about/our-people/technical-staff.page
