We’ve got the perfect recipe for your success! Join our Engineering Apprenticeship at Morrisons Manufacturing and embark on a journey of learning, growth and innovation. You’ll earn whilst you learn and get your qualifications at no cost to you, gaining great skills and experience along the way. All we need from you is a desire to learn and a passion for engineering.

We have exciting opportunity at Colne Manufacturing, Lancashire.
Set on nine acres of land, our 16,700 square foot Colne site is one of Europe’s largest beef, pork and lamb processing facilities. Here our 840 colleagues work five days a week, producing meat and raw materials for sausages, pies and more. We supply our stores and Farmers Boy with 150 products. Everything from pork shanks and beef fillets to oxtail primals and pork shoulder joints.
As an Engineering Apprentice, you’ll work hands on and side by side with our seasoned engineers, mastering the art of maintaining, repairing and improving our machinery.

This is a 3 year apprenticeship scheme and will include residential block release (up to 20 weeks away from home) for studies and exams. Our apprentice scheme offers a very competitive salary and benefits packages. Not only that, you will have continued development and support through our mentoring and buddy system, offering you the tools to succeed and grow with our business.
