Apprenticeships at Siemens

Different areas involve different tasks: from installing traffic signalling to keeping wind turbines turning. Wherever you join us, you'll learn on the job, from the best people in their field. You'll also receive support towards relevant qualifications.

An apprenticeship allows you to start earning while learning valuable skills. Higher apprenticeships can also offer similar levels of qualification to a degree. We also sponsor you to complete your qualification, which means you won’t be saddled with student debt.

We’re a global, multicultural company. That means you’ll be working with a variety of people of different ages, beliefs, races and sexual orientations.

It really depends on where you work. We’re more than happy to discuss this with you at the interview stage.

Safeguarding learners is part of our Zero Harm culture, and we have robust safeguarding policies and procedures in place to ensure that the wellbeing of our learners is supported and prioritised at every step of their scheme. We have designated Safeguarding Person’s and Mental Health First Aiders in each business to help identify indicators of abuse, radicalisation and harm; as well as wellbeing champions and employee programmes to provide further support.

We run apprenticeships in a number of locations: Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Belfast, Birmingham, Chippenham, Coventry, Droitwich, Dunfermline, Glasgow, Hayes, Hebburn, Leeds, Lincoln, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Northampton, Poole, Southampton, Stoke Poges,  Ulverston, Warwick and York. Make sure you check our open opportunities as we may have roles in other locations too.

A games-based assessment is a method of assessing a candidates behaviours and traits, as well as ability, in a more fun and engaging way. They directly gather observable evidence of behaviours and traits that have previously been impossible to measure (in traditional numerical and verbal reasoning testing) - and most importantly, you have more fun doing them!

There isn't any way you can particuarly prepare for the assessment, but just make sure you're in a suitable environment where you won't be interrupted!

A strengths based interview is a way of interviewing that focuses on what you interests you as a person, which is then assessed against the core strengths that have been identified in the Siemens Entry Level Talent (ELT) top performers. This allows us to focus more on your potential and what energises you, rather than your past experiences.

To help you prepare, it might be useful to think of what tasks/activities you've particularly enjoyed, and think overall about what you enjoy/what interests & energises you and what you like/dislike etc.
