About the Role

Step into a career where your curiosity, determination and appetite for hands-on learning really count. As a Trainee Kitchen Appliance Engineer, you'll play a vital role in keeping homes running smoothly by bringing essential appliances back to life, while building a future-ready skillset you can be genuinely proud of.

This is a role where you’ll make a real impact. You’ll be out in the community, meeting customers, solving problems, and keeping appliances powered up and safe. No two days are the same - from restoring a broken oven before a family meal to getting a washing machine back up and running, every day brings new challenges and opportunities to help customers. You'll diagnose faults, repair essential household appliances, and help customers get the best performance from their products, ensuring their homes continue to run smoothly. Every job is a chance to make a real difference.

At a state-of-the-art training centre, you won't just learn the basics - you’ll develop the skills, qualifications, and practical experience to thrive. You'll learn how to diagnose, service and repair a wide range of kitchen appliances, from electric ovens and hobs to washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigeration. With support from experienced engineers, you'll develop the technical expertise, confidence, and know-how to solve problems and make a real difference from day one.

What We're Looking For

  • Show strong technical aptitude, whether developed through study, practical experience, or a passion for tinkering, fixing and understanding how things work.
  • Be passionate about delivering brilliant customer service and creating positive experiences for customers.
  • Hold a full UK driving licence with no more than 6 points.
  • Be able to commit to a 7-week training programme, primarily based in Wakefield, taking place within your first four months. Any required travel and accommodation will be fully covered.

  • A starting salary of £28,090 which will continue to rise as you hit specific milestones during your traineeship.
  • Once you have completed the full programme and aftercare support your salary will increase to £40,133 with bonus and add ons on top.
