Engineering is defined as ‘the branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building and use of engines, machines, and structures’ ‘Engineering is all around us’*.
Within the UK there are 5.7 million employees working in engineering, representing just over 19% of the total UK employment. This further emphasises its importance to the contribution it makes in terms of economic activity and exports, as well as impacting positively on society in general.
Roles within this sector are extremely varied and utilise a range of skills that would be too exhaustive to list, however, some examples are design engineer, maintenance technician, electrical engineer, fabricator/welder, instrumentation technician and mechanical engineer.
TDR can deliver Engineering and Manufacturing Apprenticeship Standards at Intermediate Level(Level 2), Advanced Level (Level 3) and Higher Level (Level 4).
This occupation is found in the Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering (AME) sector. AME includes Aerospace, Automotive, Maritime Defence, Nuclear and Construction sectors.
Manufacturing anything that can be fabricated out of metal such as bridges, oil rigs and ships. This occupation is found in a range of sectors such as advanced manufacturing engineering, engineering construction, and maritime.
This occupation is found in a wide range of sectors associated with the Fabrication, Construction and upgrade of major capital plant items and facilities. Plate Welders may be employed in any size of organisation from small companies to large multi-national organisations.
Manually weld pipework and structural components to high standards of quality. This occupation is found in a wide range of sectors where piping systems are used for fluid transport and pressure containment.
Welding is a way to make high strength joints between two or more parts. General Welders use high electrical energy to form an arc. Manual dexterity is essential in controlling the arc, which is used to melt metals, allowing them to fuse together to form a structurally sound weld.
Maintenance & Operations Engineering Technicians cover 7 roles: Electrical Technicians; Mechanical Technicians; Control & Instrumentation Technicians; Wind Turbine Technicians Electrical System and Process Control Technicians; Electromechanical Technicians and Plant Operations Technicians. They will maintain the safety, integrity and effective operation of plant and equipment.
This occupation is found in the manufacturing and process sectors. The broad purpose of the occupation is to produce complex high value, low volume components or assemblies in full or part, using machines, equipment or systems, to the required specification.
Engineering Design and Draughtsperson will produce designs and drawings for structures, piping, electrical systems, control and instrumentation systems and mechanical components used in industrial and commercial construction.
Designing, building, servicing and repairing a range of engineering products and services.
This occupation is found in large and small engineering and manufacturing organisations providing products and services throughout a wide range of sectors, such as Automotive, Aerospace/Airworthiness, Chemical Processing, Land Systems, Marine, Maritime Defence, Materials Manufacturers and their respective supply chains.
Offer engineering support, technical leadership and expertise. They may be installation technicians, process technicians, production support technicians, senior maintenance technicians, test and commissioning technicians.
Engineering Operatives are predominantly involved in engineering operations which are key to the success of the Manufacturing and Engineering sector allowing employers to grow their business while developing a workforce with the relevant skills and knowledge to enhance the sustain the sector.
