THE WATERSIDE TECHNICAL ADVANCED APPRENTICESHIP An outstanding career opportunity is offered by Waterside Training on behalf of Pilkington European Technical Centre based at Ormskirk, Lathom. A Technical Services & Support Engineer works as part of a team to provide support and service to develop, design and modify technical areas. These areas include installation of technical equipment and set up and configuration of plant / equipment. There would be progression to team leading, planning, monitoring and checking development activities. Technical Services & Support are performed by individuals whose work involves a technical area, and are provided by a host of different people within a company including planners, estimators, quality controllers, inspectors, testers, technical buyers, contract engineers, technical authors, materials schedulers, applications engineers, stock controllers - not just technicians. They require high caliber people to follow a 4-Year Advanced Apprenticeship in Technical Support and potentially develop to become a key member of the team. You will be trained in both traditional and modern engineering skills ranging from electrical and mechanical maintenance and welding through to Lean Manufacturing. Though initially covering a wide range of engineering skills you will later specialise in a Technical area. You will train to become qualified in Engineering Techniques and gain experience in all aspects of Engineering / Manufacturing. The training programme is competency based leading firstly to an NVQ level 2 in Engineering and subsequently to an NVQ level 3 in Technical Services & Support. Based primarily at Waterside Training for the first year of your apprenticeship then on successful completion of the probationary year, you will be based at a Sponsoring Company site. You will work typically between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. However, occasionally, you may be required to work outside these hours or work to the hours of your sponsoring company site while on placement and while carrying out your apprenticeship at your sponsoring company site. On health and safety grounds it is a requirement that if selected you are able to differentiate between colours. All applicants will, therefore, be required to undergo an eye test for colour blindness during a pre-employment medical.

THE WATERSIDE GLASS MANUFACTURING ADVANCED APPRENTICESHIP SPONSORED BY PILKINGTON UK LTD An outstanding career opportunity is offered by Waterside Training on behalf of Pilkington based in St Helens. The sites produce flat glass for Architectural and Automotive purposes. Pilkington require high calibre people to follow a 3-Year Apprenticeship in Manufacturing (Glass) and potentially develop to become key members of the production team. A manufacturing person in the glass industry works as part of a team to control raw material delivery, mixing, melting, stretching, cooling, cutting, packing and despatch of packs of flat glass for automotive and building products applications. Float glass production units are multi-million pound facilities that run continuously to produce glass 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The manufacturing teams work on a continuous shift system and are paid a shift-work premium in return. During your apprenticeship it is likely you will be required to experience shift work. Much of the work in a Pilkington Glass Manufacturing Plant involves monitoring the computerised control of the above processes. This requires alertness and the ability to respond appropriately to changes in visually presented information (and the ability to intervene safely and effectively when things go wrong!). Manufacturing team members have a sound understanding of the basic principles of Physics and Chemistry and the nature of materials to complement their understanding of the production process as a whole. This enables them to contribute to continuous improvement of the products and manufacturing processes. They learn to use many modern manufacturing improvement techniques such as Statistical Process Control, Visual Workplace, Total Productive Maintenance and Problem Solving Methodology. Under normal conditions, much of the work is indoors though some outdoor work e.g. moving raw materials and transferring packs of glass may be required (you may learn to drive forklift trucks and other heavy vehicles). During unsteady process conditions or product changes, some work may take place under hot conditions.
