Engineering a career building a bright future
ARE you excited about making what can be imagined real? So are Delphi Technologies, who are looking for bright young people to join them.
This could be your chance to begin your future in engineering with a world-class company who are a leader in their field.
Delphi is throwing open its doors for an apprenticeship recruitment open day on Wednesday, February 13, from noon-8pm at their Stonehouse site.
It could show how your high-flying engineering career starts.
Potential applicants are invited, along with their parents or grandparents, to find out what the apprenticeships involve.
Training and development manager Gary Miller said: “Some parents may think ‘Oh crikey, we don’t want you to be an engineer – you’ll be up to your knees in grease.’
“But at our open day they’ll see it’s not like that anymore.”
Engineering means making things happen – the application of science and mathematics to solve problems.
And at Delphi it’s all about making the future real today.
“We are world leaders in the design and manufacture of fuel injection systems for heavy duty engines,” said Gary.
“This includes things like agricultural tractors, lorries, buses and speedboats.
“Technology moves very quickly. We are developing ideas for applications in five to 10 years.”
Delphi is looking for 15 new apprentices across three categories – craft, manufacturing technician, technician and manufacturing support technician.
All applicants will need good academic results, particularly in maths and physics, as well as a drive for pursuing change and challenging the status quo.
Training with Delphi will set them up for wherever these passions lead.
“Our apprentices develop a suite of qualifications that place them with the very best engineers in the industry,” Gary said.
He is proud most apprentices stay on at Delphi Technologies after their training programme – but graduates are highly employable if they wish to leave.
“The four years of training is not the end of development at Delphi – it’s just the end of the beginning,” he said.
“The opportunities are almost limitless.”
The open day tours will be led by current and previous apprentices so you can hear directly about their experiences and the different options available.
There are no appointments – just turn up and ask as many questions as possible.
“We believe students will leave the open day enthused for a career in the industry,” Gary concluded.
