About the programme

The Control Systems Engineering apprenticeship 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.

The Control and Technical Support Engineers primarily assist the smooth running of manufacturing in activities such as site maintenance and improvements. You will work closely with other production roles in a fast-paced and cost-conscious manufacturing environment, where complex problem solving is key.

How does the programme work?

This 5-year apprenticeship offers a real alternative to full-time university, with the opportunity to study for a BEng (Hons) in Automation and Controls. Because like you, we believe in doing things differently and taking the road less travelled. In being bold and exploring new paths to achieve our ambitions.How we will support you

We’re huge advocates of early careers, and we all want you to succeed. Bring us the passion and energy and we’ll support you all the way, encouraging you to fulfil all your potential.

You’ll get excellent development opportunities and play a crucial role in your team. We’ll also help and encourage you to network and socialise with your peers so you can see the impact of your creativity and ideas.

From day 1, your line manager, a mentor and a buddy from the business will be there to support you. As an existing or ex-apprentice your buddy will really help you to immerse yourself in the company and your new role.

You’ll also select your own benefits package with our flexible benefits programme. From lifestyle benefits to comprehensive health, pension, insurance and financial plans, you choose the right package for you. And if you change your mind the following year, you can adapt it.

Where you will be based

We have roles available at our Macclesfield campus.

Essential requirements

What we're looking for:

• Enthusiastic people with a passion to learn
• Quick and agile thinkers
• Logical thinkers who can use their initiative
• Rational problem solvers
