No published policyMaintenance and Operations Apprenticeship Programme at Capenhurst, with Level 3 qualifications

Unconfirmed. Urenco publishes no sponsorship policy for its maintenance and operations apprenticeship programme at capenhurst, with level 3 qualifications, so we cannot state a firm answer. Urenco enriches uranium at Capenhurst in Cheshire and has around 55 apprentices enrolled on its Maintenance and Operations programme. The engineering intake covers Process Operations and Mechanical and Electrical Maintenance, runs four years and is fully funded, leading to a Level 3 Science Industry Maintenance Technician qualification and a Level 3 BTEC Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering. The first two years are spent mostly at TTE, Training Tomorrow's Engineers, with site visits, and years three and four are based at Urenco. Entry is GCSE English and maths at grade 4 or C and above. Further apprenticeships run in health and safety, procurement, finance and chemistry services as the business needs them. Urenco publishes no salary and takes no published position on visa sponsorship, which matters at a nuclear licensed site.
