IN FOCUS: MARTIN, MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN AT MINI PLANT OXFORD

In each issue, we hear from one of our current apprentices who gives you an insight into what you could be doing on one of our apprenticeship programmes. Read on to find out how Martin’s skills and enthusiasm have opened up even more opportunities at BMW Group.

“Being a Level 3 Maintenance Apprentice with the BMW Group means I use my technical skills every day, whether I’m learning how to keep the production line running smoothly or working on projects to make the production of our cars more efficient.

One of the best parts about this apprenticeship is that if you put the effort in, it does get noticed. When there was a race to develop a ventilator that could be quickly produced during the Covid pandemic, BMW Group was asked to contribute because we’ve got a 3D printing department. As I’d been researching how to improve our 3D printing processes, I was put forward for the opportunity by my group leader of training, which meant I got to help manufacture the prototype ventilators.”
