Level 6 Applied Professional Engineering Programme Degree Apprenticeship – Manufacturing Pathway

Level 6 Applied Professional Engineering Programme (APEP) Degree Apprenticeship

Our Level 6 Applied Professional Engineering Programme Degree Apprenticeship is aimed at those with a passion for learning and innovation.

We’re reimagining the future of automotive, refining the quality of our combustion engines and expanding into electrification. As an Applied Professional Engineering Degree Apprentice, you will become a multi-disciplinary engineer, developing digital technology solutions for modern luxury vehicles that are renowned for their desirability and performance.

Manufacturing pathway

Manufacturing is at the very heart of JLR, with thousands of vehicles being produced every day across our production facilities. With a blend of hands-on experience and qualifications you will work on projects that are fundamental to our global success, providing the opportunity to influence the future of manufacturing.

Global Manufacturing Engineering (GME)

Our GME team supports the projects and innovation that enables our JLR Reimagine Strategy across our global locations. Join us and you will be responsible for the design, installation and commissioning of manufacturing facilities and processes to build the modern luxury vehicles of the future. You will be working with stakeholders across our enterprise including product engineering, procurement and manufacturing operations to implement new products, processes and equipment whilst driving future technology development.

Dependant on the team you join you could get involved in activities such as working with digital toolsets and systems to leverage VR and digitalisation to bring products and processes to life, work alongside colleagues in the wider industrial operations chapter (procurement, supply chain & manufacturing) as well as interfacing with the product development teams ensuring the product is designed to meet bill of process standards and requirements and deliver enterprise KPI's on Quality, cost & time to market.

Apprentices may also work to provide advice on feasibility for joining technologies, ensuring we deliver a capable process into a production facility. You will learn to develop your expertise in joining to support teams with suitable solutions for equipment as well as joining performance.

If you enjoy problem solving and being at the heart of making things happen then our GME roles give you the opportunity to work throughout the end-to-end product lifecycle, with multiple stakeholders internally and externally, and managing large capital investment change into our plants. Quickly gaining real-world experience in process and industrial engineering, you will play a key role in transforming our brands and develop as a fully rounded automotive manufacturing engineer.
