Launch your Career with an Apprenticeship

Here at HydraForce we offer Apprenticeships for individuals who want to become engineers. If you want to specialise in Mechanical, Electrical or Manufacturing Engineering then we have an opportunity for you!

Our award-winning Apprenticeship Scheme has been running since 2004 and is an exciting way to start your working life. A key part of your training will be the time you spend in various Engineering and business departments, to understand the product and the business; supported by your academic studies. We offer two levels of Apprenticeships: 

If you’re looking for a work-based placement, whilst at University then join our Undergraduate Scheme here in Birmingham. Our scheme is tailored to students who are studying towards their Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, so if you fit that criteria then you’re exactly who we’re looking for! Placement students join us annually in August for a minimum of 40 weeks (dependent on the university’s requirements) and can choose to extend their placement if they wish to and if required by the business.

As the placement student, you will be assigned to a particular department and from there you will undertake what we call a ‘departmental rotation’ where you will get experience working in all of the relevant departments allowing you to get an understanding of the complete business.

Internships and work placements at HydraForce can be adapted to suit both your requirements and our business needs.

However long your work placement is, you will be working on real-life projects that make a difference to the company. We welcome students from the UK, Europe and across the world to join HydraForce us for our work placements, so we can help support their growing careers.

Our placements can range in duration, with past students staying anywhere between two weeks and five months!
