At Mitie, we're the UK's leading facilities management and professional services company. We deliver critical services that power businesses, communities, and individuals across the nation. Joining Mitie means being part of a team that values collaboration, innovation, and the passion to make a difference. We're here to help you kick off your career with purpose, passion, and plenty of support.
Whether you're stepping into your first job or looking to change your career, our apprenticeships are your ticket to learning, earning, and achieving. With us, you'll gain nationally recognised qualifications, real-world experience, and a competitive salary - all while being part of a company that truly cares about its people and the planet.
We're proud to be one of the Top 100 Apprentice Employers in the UK and a leader in creating inclusive workplaces where everyone can shine. Together, we're shaping brighter futures - for you, for our communities, and for our world.
What You'll Be Doing
As an Apprentice Maintenance Engineer, you'll be supporting Mitie's delivery of two Public Finance Initiative (PFI) contracts, covering 8 buildings across a diverse and critical portfolio. These include residential respite centres, day centres, healthcare facilities, and hospitals - essential community sites where the quality and timeliness of maintenance really matter.
Our services are largely self-delivered and supported by a network of trusted subcontractors. You'll join a high-performing team providing planned and reactive maintenance across all sites - helping to keep essential services running safely and efficiently, 24/7. As part of a rotating on-call schedule, you'll contribute to our fast-paced response operation, where meeting PFI contract response times is essential.
This role involves working in sensitive environments and around vulnerable young people, so an enhanced DBS check will be required.
Our Apprentice Mobile Engineers are problem-solvers, team players, and hands-on learners who support our clients' facilities on the ground. Under the guidance of your experienced mentor, you'll:
-Develop core trade skills and technical knowledge to conduct routine maintenance and minor planned and responsive repair work.
-Learn to work across a variety of trades including carpentry, plumbing, plastering, painting, decorating, tiling, and external works.
-Respond to urgent issues across a mobile patch of PFI sites, contributing to planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive repairs.
-Put health, safety, environmental, and quality standards at the centre of everything you do - helping protect both people and places.
As part of your Apprenticeship, you will be enrolled onto a Level 3 Building Services Engineering qualification which normally runs for 36 months. You will be fully supported by our partnered training provider, GLP Training, to achieve this qualification by having 1-2-1 advice and support, e-learning materials, and a whole team of experts on hand for advice. As part of your training, you will attend GLP Training Centre's in Worcester every 3 months for 2-3 days. All travel expenses and accommodation will be covered for you to attend this training.
Our dedicated Apprenticeship Team will support you every step of the way, helping you make the most of your opportunities and to achieve the goals you already have - and those you have yet to discover!
Could you be our next Apprentice?
We're searching for ambitious, driven individuals who are excited about learning and ready to take on new challenges. To succeed as a Mitie apprentice, you'll need:
-Possess at least a Grade 4/C in GCSE English and Maths or equivalent.
-A valid UK driving licence
-A keen interest in your chosen field.
-Dedication to complete your apprenticeship and grow with Mitie.
No prior experience? No problem! If you're enthusiastic and ready to learn, we'll give you all the tools you need to succeed.
