Level 4 Automation and Controls Engineering Technician Apprentice At AstraZeneca, we put patients first and strive to meet their unmet needs worldwide. We're deeply committed to our strategy of being a great place to work. For us, that includes fostering an environment where everyone can be among inclusive, supportive individuals with curious minds. A company that genuinely follows the science and values individuals at all levels, you'll be backed and encouraged to speak up, ask questions, and share ideas to push the boundaries of science and continuously learn and explore. Make the start of your journey a life changing one!
Are you a budding engineer, with an interest in machine automation and control systems? As part of our Early Talent Programme, you'll be involved in projects and learning opportunities that have real impact from day one. Being part of our journey and helping us to provide life changing medicine to patients all over the world and transform lives for the better.
AstraZeneca's Automation and Controls Engineering Technician apprenticeship programme is designed to create the control and automation engineers of the future. Engineering apprentices play a hugely important role at AstraZeneca, solving challenges that arise from some of the most advanced equipment in the industry.
You will be part of the Automation Support Engineers team, who primarily assist the smooth running of manufacturing in activities such as site maintenance and improvements. They will work closely across shifts with other production roles in a fast-paced and cost-conscious manufacturing environment, where complex problem solving is key.
Under supervision, the apprentice will develop a solid grasp of the core automation engineering skills. These skills will not only prepare the apprentice for the workplace in demonstrating that they have the required manual dexterity to do their role, but their competencies are transferable and can be built upon over time. The skills developed are:
Project engineering capability
Diagnostics capability
Instrumentation configuration and calibration
Industrial networks configuration and support
HMI & SCADA configuration and programming
PLC / Robot configuration and programming
AstraZeneca will sponsor you through this valuable work experience and you will have the opportunity to study in blocks towards professional qualifications, including a Level 4 HNC in Automation and Controls Engineering Technician at The University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC).
We truly value Early Talent - their thoughts, ideas and contributions. So throughout the programme, you'll be encouraged and inspired to speak up, have a voice and make an impact.
Essential Skills and Capabilities We would be looking for the following attributes from our successful applicants:
Good communication skills
Good team working skills
Logical thinking to be able to apply processes
Concerns for standards
High numeracy, digital and literacy skills
The ability to learn
Self-motivation
