Want to hear more? A few of our apprentices have shared their experience of working at AEUK.

Finley Hutt, Integration Engineer Apprentice

Debt-Free Learning

“I chose a higher level apprenticeship as I felt it was more suited to me as opposed to following the traditional university route.

"Personally, I find learning with hands-on, industry experience much more beneficial than university learning where there is a lack of work experience. In addition, I‘m paid a competitive wage whilst gaining a higher level qualification instead of accumulating debt from university."

Supporting Passions

"I chose AEUK as it is a maritime company that aligns with my interests and hobbies.

"Growing up in Weymouth means I’ve always had an opportunity to go sailing and swim in the sea. Competitive sailing gave me knowledge and skills which transfer into the maritime sector, and continue my passion for being on the water.

"Being involved in the testing phase of a variety of projects is by far the favourite part of my job. I get to go out on the water to test the final product. I’m involved in whole process, from writing up the paperwork for the project, all the way through to getting my hands on the final physical product.”

Edward Gibson, Field Service Engineer Apprentice

Cutting-edge Technology

 “I first heard about AEUK after speaking to employees at school and careers fairs, I then attended an open evening that enabled me to learn more about the company.

"The factors that really interested me were the cutting-edge technology, the ability to gain experience working on defence contracts and the steady rate of growth at AEUK. It was also very apparent just how well the company looks after its employees. There are not many companies offering opportunities like AEUK in the local area to Weymouth, so this made it a very easy choice."

Job Stability

"Having worked at AEUK for over three years, I have developed some fantastic relationships with fellow employees. The opportunities here are second to none; I love being able to travel and work on sophisticated technology – the money is handy too!

"Not forgetting the flexi-time scheme and job stability, both are great.”

Louise Davie, Project Control Apprentice

Invaluable Opportunities

“I believe the prospects of an apprenticeship are far greater than other opportunities. The knowledge and experience you gain from working and learning within a company is invaluable. Being able to finish my apprenticeship with a high level qualification and two years of industry experience is a brilliant result."

Endless Possibilities

"My favourite part of my job is communicating between different colleagues and departments. I thoroughly enjoy attending meetings and meeting new people, as I gain more confidence. This has developed my people skills which is extremely important within my project management role.

"My future aspirations are to further develop my skills and knowledge within the company, and become a Project Manager for one of the divisions.”
