Common questions

Does Peel Ports sponsor visas for its electrical and mechanical engineering apprenticeships?

Unconfirmed. Peel Ports publishes no sponsorship policy for its electrical and mechanical engineering apprenticeships, so we cannot state a firm answer. Peel Ports Group runs the Port of Liverpool, Clydeport, the Manchester Ship Canal and Medway, and its flagship early careers route is the Port of Liverpool engineering apprenticeship covering both electrical and mechanical disciplines. It is a multi year programme structured around technical skills and theory, progressing towards Higher Certificate qualifications. The published package is specific: £23,587 in year one, 25 days holiday, matched pension to 10 per cent, life assurance, critical illness cover, a healthcare cash plan and flexible benefits. Entry is a minimum Level 4 Leaving Certificate or five GCSEs at A star to C including Maths and Science, and predicted grades are accepted with confirmation on results day. The process runs five stages: online application, a talent team call, psychometric testing, a half day assessment centre with interviews, a practical test and a group exercise, then feedback within a week. Peel Ports says it is still building its early careers framework, which will eventually include graduate programmes alongside the apprenticeships. Nothing published addresses visa sponsorship.
