Sunderland City Council has an exciting opportunity for 2 hard-working, motivated, and enthusiastic individuals to join Environmental Services as Apprentice Vehicle Fitters.
You will be based in the Fleet Services team and will gain experience in operating a variety of equipment, driving large goods vehicles, and undertaking plant and vehicle maintenance. You will be provided with unparalleled support throughout the duration of your employment, develop the skills you need for the job by working alongside your Fleet Management colleagues and gain hands on experience.
As an Apprentice Vehicle Fitter, you will undertake the Level 3 Heavy Vehicle Service and Maintenance technician apprenticeship and will be required to attend Gateshead College 1 day per week. You will be supported through the apprenticeship by a college assessor, and you will also receive regular mentoring in the workplace from your supervisor and team.
This apprenticeship would appeal to candidates who prefer to work outdoors and enjoy a physically strenuous job. The apprenticeship will necessitate candidates having a good level of fitness and a high tolerance for a sometimes-challenging working environment involving hands on tasks in confined, malodorous conditions.
You do not need to have prior experience to apply for this apprenticeship, but we are interested in receiving applications from candidates who can demonstrate an interest in how the Heavy Vehicle industry operates and who wishes to develop mechanical skills.
Ideally candidates will have or expect to achieve 3 GCSEs at Grade 4 / Grade C including Maths and English or hold an equivalent and relevant qualification. If you do not have the required grades in Maths and English, you will be assessed by the training provider to determine if you have the required skills to complete this alongside the apprenticeship. Candidates without level 2 English and Maths will need to achieve this level prior to the completion of the apprenticeship.
