• Work with a cohort of fellow graduates to develop your skills and knowledge across a broad range of machines and across a number of industry brands, including; GMM, Burkhardt and Thibaut to name a few.
• Gain practical hands-on and theoretical skills.

About You

• You love finding solutions to difficult problems and perhaps this is why you have enjoyed your engineering degree.
• Your interest for problem solving extends outside the classroom where you may find yourself investigating issues with your washing machine, dishwasher or oven and take pride in being able to find the fault and repair the issue yourself.
• While you enjoyed the theory behind mechanical systems, what gave you the most energy in your course were the practical lab classes you got to experience. Because of this you are now looking for a career where you can roll up your sleeves and be hands on in your work.
