Maintenance Apprentice Program, October Class - Starting at $18/hour - DOL Registered - 4 year program

Join our next class of Maintenance Apprentices in the Fall (October 2023)!

HNI Corporation is a global family of brands for the workplace and home dedicated to enhancing the spaces where we live, work, and gather. We pride ourselves on fostering an environment where we make a positive impact on others; upholding our beliefs in integrity, inclusion and belonging.

Pay: Starting at $18.00/hour (based on academic credits and verifiable previous employment) we offer a pay progression that gets you to $27-29 per hour upon graduation!

• Note: If an HNI member is accepted into the Program at their current hourly rate, and that rate exceeds the rate they would have received upon entering the program, the Member will maintain merit eligibility until their related instruction and OJL hours advance to a higher hourly rate – capped at $27.00 per hour. At that point, the Member will no longer be eligible for merit and will align to the Apprentice Program wage progression process.

During your apprenticeship, we also review your pay x2 per year for raises based on your progression through the program. Off-shift opportunities receive an additional $1.50/hour shift differential.

Shift: must be flexible to work 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Weekends. Each rotation will be assigned a shift, but we do ask you to be flexible from time to time.
