Our growing beverage portfolio in the UK & Ireland includes Pravha, Staropramen, Blue Moon, Rekorderlig, Aspall Cyder alongside popular favourites Coors, Carling - the UK’s number one selling lager, and the UK’s number one selling cask ale - Doom Bar.

Molson Coors Beverage Company has a commitment to raising industry standards and leaving a positive imprint on our employees, consumers, communities and the environment which is reflected in Our Beer Print and our 2025 sustainability targets.

We are looking to recruit Engineering Apprentices working initially with our provider, MGTS in Coventry for 1 year where you will be given the skills required to work in a manufacturing background before going to your home brewery.  This will require a 9 month period away from home whilst you are studying in accommodation provided in Coventry.

The Engineering Apprenticeship programme is designed to shape the engineering technicians and engineers of the future. Engineering apprentices play a hugely important role at Molson Coors, solving challenges that arise from some of the most advanced packaging and brewing equipment in the industry. As an engineering apprentice, you'll be required to maintain complex equipment and ensure that high standards are adhered to for safety, manufacturing quality and documentation.

You’ll receive tailored on-the-job training from our in-house specialists, rotating around departments on the Aspall site giving great exposure and diversification in learning. As well as being assigned a mentor who will be there to offer support and guidance throughout your apprenticeship.

The apprenticeship will combine on-the-job training alongside an academic programme of learning towards nationally recognised qualifications.

Throughout the apprenticeship you will:

• Develop electrical, mechanical and process automation skills.
• Learn the theory and practical applications of packaging & production equipment operation and maintenance.
• Support engineering projects consisting of designing, installation and commissioning.
• Perform unplanned equipment repairs through fault finding and diagnosis.

In the first year, you’ll spend most of your time at college, studying theory elements of the apprenticeship and gaining some practical hands-on experience. In subsequent years, you’ll continue one day a week at college while learning new skills as part of an engineering team on site.

In addition to the valuable working experience you'll study towards professional qualifications, including a BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Engineering and potentially a HNC Level 4 in engineering.

• Good communication skills.

This is a 4 year Fixed Term Contract opportunity. You will need to be 18 years old upon commencement of the apprenticeship in September 2023.
