Engineer Apprenticeship | In-house with Street Cranexpress

The logo for the SCE academy.

At Street Cranexpress we endeavour to develop young talent into highly trained, qualified engineers through our SCE Academy apprenticeship programme.

Apprentices work through a specifically designed programme, providing them with a variety of experience and training that will prepare them for a future career in this specialist field of engineering.

How does it work?

An SCE Academy apprenticeship lasts 4 years. By the end of the course, through a mix of college attendance, mentoring and additional in-house and external courses, our apprentices will have all the qualifications and skills needed to become a successful Service Engineer.

Working together with the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), the first part of the programme is the completion of a BTEC & NVQ level 3 in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, lasting approximately 2 years:

For months 0-6, the apprentice will attend college full-time, with one day per month spent at our office in Sheffield.

The remaining 18 months will be spent one day per week at college, and four days shadowing a fully qualified mentor.

In addition to the hands-on experience with a mentor, our apprentices also complete:

Two men in a warehouse examining a light crane system
A man standing next to a board with electrical components, teaching some staff members.

A 10-day City and Guilds Electrical Maintenance course, followed by a 3 day 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations course.

Various workshops throughout the year, to expand and test knowledge.

The LEEA Foundation Course, followed by the LEEA Advanced Course.

LEEA Advanced

Passing the LEEA Advanced Course is required to complete year four and pass the SCE Academy apprenticeship programme. After successfully completing the SCE Academy apprenticeship, apprentices will be invited to apply for the position of Service Engineer with Street Cranexpress.

Hear from some of our apprentices:

A picture of Josh McKennan, a Street Cranexpress apprentice, with a quote talking about his training that says, "The apprenticeship route is a genuine contender to other routes of education (such as A-levels) as it gives equivalent qualifications with the added bonus of being paid to learn. This also allows the learner to gain access to a vast field of work, because apprentices in their field are valuable assets to any company and will often be headhunted in order to utilise the skills learned at specialist colleges and universities."
A picture of Jay Smith, a Street Cranexpress apprentice, with a quote talking about his training says, "The most important aspect of the apprenticeship programme is learning on the job, as being in a classroom several hours a day is not the most enjoyable experience. This also allows you to practice in the right environment." 
A picture of Deacon Moxon A Street Cranexpress apprentice with a quote talking about his training says, "I would recommend the appren­ticeship program because it's a good start to life from moving from a school environment to a work environment. Also, it gives a good idea of what you should prepare for in the future. Finally, it will give someone a chance to learn something new if they have been working somewhere else and want a change in their career."
