Hi Freddie,
That's great to hear you're thinking about an engineering apprenticeship with GWR.
For the first 2 years of the apprenticeship, you will do day shifts between 07:00 and 20:00, Monday through Saturday, with a rest day and study time during this period.
For years 3 & 4, you will follow a 24/7 shift pattern. During periods of training, overnight stays may be required.
I hope that helps.
