Apprentice Test Engineer

In this role you’ll be contributing to the safety of hundreds of thousands of people by ensuring the wide range of products manufactured by our clients are tested and safe to use in our everyday lives. The vast range of construction materials to personal safety products are tested for safety critical use, having been subjected to extremes of functional, physical, environmental or security testing in our laboratories.

You’ll get the opportunity to contribute to the whole product testing process, for example, you’ll support from when a motorcycle helmet, car windscreen or fire extinguisher arrives through the door, testing it to destruction, analysing & considering the test results, pulling together a customer friendly report and helping give the BSI stamp of approval.

Don’t worry we won’t expect you to do all this straight away as over the development period you will move through the different departments within the business learning a wide variety of skills under the guidance of experienced engineers.

You’ll also get the opportunity to work with our client’s which might include names such as 3M, Durex, Pilkington & McLaren.

Working for a company with such a wide portfolio, we need an individual who is keen to continue their own development, demonstrates a self-motivated approach and is able to operate in a right first time environment.

Working here is rewarding, from generous life assurance, annual leave and medical cover. 

Our Excellence Behaviours: Client-centric, Agile, Collaborative. These three behaviours represent how we do things at BSI. They help us ensure that BSI is a great place to work and a highly successful business.
