Looking for your first step into Engineering?
Want a hands-on role where you can learn, earn, and build a long-term career - all while working towards a recognised qualification?
We’re recruiting Engineering Apprentice to join our friendly and experienced Engineering team at our Barway site, home to our Babyleaf and Celery operation supplying major UK retailers.
This is a fantastic opportunity for school or college leavers who are curious, practical, and excited to learn how real engineering works in a live production environment.
What will you be doing?
As an Engineering Apprentice, you’ll learn on the job while being supported by experienced Engineers. Your role will include:
- Helping diagnose and fix breakdowns on machinery and equipment
- Supporting planned maintenance to keep production lines running smoothly
- Learning how different machines and systems work across the site
- Getting involved in improvement projects to make equipment safer, faster, and more efficient
No previous engineering experience is needed - full training will be provided.
An interest in engineering or experience fixing things like cars, bikes, or equipment in your own time would be a great advantage.
What are we looking for?
We’re not looking for experts - we’re looking for the right attitude.
- Passion & Energy - an interest in engineering and the motivation to learn
- Team Player - you enjoy working with others and being part of a team
- Curiosity - you like finding out how things work and asking questions
- Ability to Communicate - you’re comfortable speaking face to face with different people, from colleagues on the shop floor to managers and visitors
What’s in it for you?
- Salary above apprentice minimum wage
- Level 3 Manufacturing Engineering Apprenticeship
- College 1 day a week, work on site 4 days a week
- Ongoing support, mentoring, and coaching
- Membership of our Early Careers Community, with development events and activities designed for our young talent population.

- Initial chat - a member of our Talent Team will give you a call to talk about your interest in engineering, your motivation, and why you’d like to work at G’s.
- Assessment Centre - if shortlisted, you’ll be invited to our Engineering Assessment Centre in July, where you’ll meet our Engineering team and take part in a range of practical and team-based activities.
- Offer & start date - if successful, you’ll receive an offer to start your apprenticeship from September (or earlier, depending on your circumstances).
