Automotive Glazing Apprentice - Sheffield
MARKERSTUDY LIMITED
About the Role
Joining as an apprentice could be perfect for you. We are looking for the next generation of technicians to repair & replace vehicle glass, learning new technology such as sensors for automatic braking. We will train you to level 3 technician & start your career with a forward-thinking business.
As an apprentice working for Auto Windscreens, you will be learning the day-to-day life of a windscreen technician. You will be working in one of our local fitting centres on customers' vehicles, which will include:
- Repairing chips in glass
- The replacement of windscreens and body glass on a variety of vehicles
- With cars becoming more and more technology-focused, you will also learn tasks like recalibration of sensors for features like automatic wipers, automatic braking and lane detection
The role will involve an element of heavy lifting as there will be glass to move to and from the vehicles. At the end of the course, you will need to have passed your UK driving test if you have not already done so at the start of your apprenticeship. The role will then become field-based and will involve outdoor work.
Please note: A minimum Grade 4 (or equivalent) in GCSE maths and English is an essential requirement for this apprenticeship.
Unfortunately, we are unable to progress applications from candidates who do not already hold these qualifications or who are not expecting to achieve them. Evidence of qualifications will be required before any offer of employment can be confirmed.
If you are currently awaiting your GCSE results, any offer made will be conditional upon achieving a Grade 4 or above in both maths and English.
After successfully completing the apprenticeship, the right candidate may become a qualified Windscreen Technician.
