About NATS Apprenticeship Program:

The National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS) is a program through which Volvo India engages freshly graduated individuals for year-long apprenticeships, providing practical training and skills development opportunities within the company. This structured apprenticeship helps develop future workforce members through hands-on learning.

Graduate Apprentice – Electrical Engineering, Machine Lifecycle Solutions

Role Overview

As a Graduate Apprentice in Machine Lifecycle Solutions (MLS), your primary focus will be electrical engineering support for Volvo electric construction equipment and associated charging systems. You will assist with repair and maintenance (R&M), electrical troubleshooting, customer-site and application studies, pre-delivery inspections, commissioning, and performance acceptance activities. Working under the guidance of qualified service and technical teams, you will develop practical skills that support machine uptime, reliability, and lifecycle value. Exposure to Equipment as a Service (EaaS), broader Repair & Maintenance Agreements (RMA), and used equipment and circularity activities will complement your core EV responsibilities.

Primary Responsibilities – Volvo EV Machines

• Repair & maintenance: Assist with preventive maintenance, breakdown support, maintenance scheduling, and parts readiness for Volvo EV machines and associated charging systems, following approved service procedures.
• Electrical troubleshooting: Support fault diagnosis using electrical schematics, diagnostic tools, fault records, and machine data. Assist qualified teams in investigating issues involving electrical circuits, batteries, electric drives, controls, and charging systems, and document findings and corrective actions.
• Site and application studies: Participate in customer-site assessments covering duty cycles, utilization, operating conditions, energy requirements, charging arrangements, and service readiness. Record site requirements and coordinate technical observations with the relevant teams.
• Pre-delivery inspection and commissioning: Assist with pre-delivery inspections, deployment readiness checks, machine and charger commissioning, and performance acceptance tests under qualified supervision. Support handover documentation and customer familiarization.
• Reliability and service follow-up: Track breakdowns, recurring faults, maintenance actions, and machine availability. Support root-cause analysis, corrective-action follow-up, and coordination with service teams, dealers, and customers.
• Electrical safety and technical documentation: Follow applicable electrical and high-voltage safety requirements and approved procedures. Carry out electrical work only within the scope of completed training, authorization, and qualified supervision. Maintain inspection records, diagnostic reports, commissioning checklists, and service documentation.

Complementary Responsibilities – Broader MLS Exposure

Equipment as a Service (EaaS)

• Support usage-based, pay-by-the-hour equipment models focused on customer uptime and output rather than ownership.
• Assist with uptime assurance through maintenance planning, parts readiness, and service execution at customer sites.
• Participate in site reviews covering utilization efficiency, breakdown response, and service execution discipline, building on the primary EV site-study and commissioning responsibilities.
• Understand how engineering decisions influence availability, reliability, and lifecycle cost.

Repair & Maintenance Agreements (RMA)

• Gain complementary exposure to structured Repair & Maintenance Agreements supporting predictable uptime and lifecycle cost control across the broader equipment portfolio.
• Learn predictive and prescriptive maintenance concepts, including spectroscopic oil analysis for early detection of wear and contamination where applicable.
• Assist with preventive repair planning, maintenance scheduling, parts planning, and failure analysis.
• Support reliability improvement by studying recurring failures and following up on corrective actions.

Used Equipment & Circularity

• Gain exposure to used equipment evaluation and refurbishment programs, including EaaS-retired machines.
• Support condition assessment, refurbishment planning, trade-ins, and next-life preparation.
• Learn how circularity principles extend machine life and enhance sustainability.

Candidate Profile – Electrical Engineering Graduate

• A fresh graduate in Electrical Engineering with an interest in electric construction equipment, field service, and machine lifecycle solutions.
• Sound fundamentals in electrical circuits, electrical machines, power electronics, control systems, and electrical measurements, with the ability to read electrical schematics.
• An interest in learning EV batteries, electric drives, charging systems, diagnostic tools, and systematic troubleshooting; prior EV exposure is an advantage, not a prerequisite.
• A safety-first approach, practical problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and clear communication and technical documentation skills.
• Willingness to participate in customer-site visits, application studies, commissioning, and hands-on service activities under qualified supervision, while collaborating with service teams, dealers, and customers.
