Quality Inspector Higher Apprenticeship - Leeds

Quality Inspector Higher Apprenticeship - Leeds

Role Mission:

As a Quality Inspector within our Quality team, your mission is to control incoming products through various inspection techniques, complete sample inspections of new parts, and to inspect problematic parts causing manufacturing issues.

This plays a pivotal role in advancing our manufacturing solutions and driving operational excellence. The Leeds plant of Schneider Electric typically focuses on manufacturing and assembling electrical distribution and control equipment. This may include products like switchgear, transformers, and various other components that support energy management and automation solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Ensure component conformity according to engineering drawings, by managing incoming inspection & metrology activities inside the plant and ensure the safety of persons and property in the working area
• Utilize traditional and modern digital inspection techniques to measure mechanical components.
• Inspect accurately and efficiently to maintain quality in a fast-paced environment.
• Report issues when necessary, providing clear information to relevant parties.
• Develop new inspection plans for new components and create programs on CMM, VMM etc

Training:

During your apprenticeship, you will receive two different types of training.

‘On-the-job’ training will be delivered by Schneider Electric, as your employer. You’ll receive training and supervision to help you perform the job you’ve been hired to do. This will include skills and knowledge that fall outside of the apprenticeship but are needed for the job role. As well as providing ‘on-the-job’ training, it is important that we support you in additional ways to ensure your success.

Types of support will include:

• A comprehensive induction
• Mentoring or regular one-to-one guidance
• Social enrichment and networking opportunities
• Performance reviews
• Mental health and wellbeing support
• Feedback opportunities

‘Off-the-job’ training is delivered by one of our carefully selected Training Providers during your normal working hours. You will spend at least 20% (average 6 hours per week) of your working hours completing ‘off-the-job’ training. This is protected time and is a requirement for apprenticeship delivery. This training will teach you the knowledge, skills, and behaviours set out in the apprenticeship standard so you can achieve occupational competence.

Work Pattern

37.5 hours per week to be worked from Monday to Friday.

Exact start and finish times are to be agreed upon with Line Manager. Some of these hours will be allocated to off-the-job training as part of your Apprenticeship Programme.
