Quality Engineering Management Degree Apprenticeship

Together, we're a force for progress

The importance of quality can’t be overstated. As a Quality Management Apprentice, you’ll ensure the jet engines we build remain the finest in the world.

Playing an essential role in our Civil Aerospace business, you’ll work to deliver quality products and services to our customers, using our best-in-class quality management system.

As well as getting on-the-job training on real-life projects, you’ll also study for a BEng Honours degree with a leading UK university. Join us and you’ll be shaping the future, surrounded by an inclusive culture that invests in you and gives you access to opportunities where you can grow your career and make a difference.

What you'll need

Five GCSEs which must include Maths at grade 5/B, plus English Language and three other subjects at grade 4/C.
Plus, 112 UCAS points (obtained or predicted) from either:

Three A-Levels at grade BBC. This must include Maths, plus Physics, Engineering or a STEM related subject (excluding Biology) at grade B or above. Plus one other subject at grade C, excluding General Studies.
A Level 3 Extended BTEC in an Engineering or STEM-related subject, along with A-level Maths at grade B.

What’s more, you’ll be:

inquisitive and analytical – someone who can ask questions, interrogate data and is always looking for better ways of doing things
creative in your ability to solve problems
determined to deliver on commitments and a strong team player.

What you’ll do

Spend four years with our expert team across our Civil Aerospace business, gaining the sort of practical knowledge you simply cannot develop in the classroom. As you take on placements in different areas of Civil Aerospace, you’ll experience the breadth of quality management across design, manufacture, and aftermarket.

Across your placements, you’ll develop a wide range of technical and soft skills that will enable you to challenge, coach and support the business. And you will have the opportunity to interface with our customers, suppliers, and regulators.

As well as getting on-the-job training on real-life projects, you will also study for a BEng Honours degree with the University of Warwick. Together, this will give you a solid foundation for an exciting career in quality management.

We’d like to know about

YOUR MOTIVATION

We’d like to see how enthusiastic you are about developing a career at the heart of a global business. We want to see evidence of how you deliver on detail-focused projects. For example, you might tell us about a project you worked on in the past or how you used your skills to identify a major problem. Whatever the case may be, we need to know you’re self-motivated and have a keen eye for detail.

HOW YOU THINK

As well as being interested in all things business, it’s important you understand how to solve problems. Tell us about a time when you put your skills to use to create a solution that worked. What new ways of thinking did you apply?

TEAM SKILLS

We’re also interested to know how well you work with others. It could be a group activity at school or college. It could be a sports team you play in or a voluntary, religious or community organisation you’re a part of. It could even be a problem you solved for a friend or family member.

We are now closed for 2025 applications.
