Press release -
Allianz opens up Engineer Surveyor Apprenticeship scheme for fourth cohort
Allianz is recruiting a number of lift and crane apprentices for the fourth cohort of its Engineer Surveyor Apprenticeship programme starting in October this year.
Engineer surveyors provide a vital inspection and installation service for businesses across the country, inspecting over 3.9 million items in 2023 – from travelators through to the Crown Jewels and the coffee machines at 10 Downing Street, our engineers make sure they operate safely for both employees and the public who use them.
As the UK’s largest inspection provider, employing over 670 engineer surveyors, Allianz has been providing inspections via brokers for nearly 100 years and now offers this service directly to end customers, providing bespoke solutions tailored to each client.
It launched its first Engineer Surveyor Apprenticeship scheme in 2021 in conjunction with the Safety Assessment Federation (SAFed), and since then has welcomed another two cohorts, totalling 27 recruits from a diverse range of backgrounds and ages.
The application window opened on 2 April and runs until Friday 3 May for the two-year programme, which will start this October. The three apprentices will learn skills on the job with Allianz trainers, alongside study at Fareham College in Hampshire.
A virtual webinar will be held on the 18 April 2024 at 4pm (BST) where those interested will be able to find out more about the role of an engineer surveyor at Allianz which will include details on all the routes available to entry.
The Engineer Surveyor Apprenticeship page on Allianz’s career portal explains the application requirements and process, and shares testimonies from our first cohort, who have now qualified.
Martin Ball, head of Engineering inspection, Allianz, said:
“This is a brilliant initiative and we are delighted to continue to give it our full support for the 4th consecutive year since the scheme was launched in 2021. During that time we have already employed 27 apprentices and from our first cohort we now have eight super talented individuals and the skills and experience that they have learnt in the last couple of years have seen them working alongside many of our experienced surveyors. With no two days the same, this is an exciting opportunity for future apprentices and for us it is a pleasure to train the next generation of engineer surveyors, as we continue to rapidly grow our inspection business.”
