Work

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

What you'll do at work

We have five exciting roles available:

Business Administration (Level 3).

Play a key role in supporting our teams with organisation, reporting, and coordination. You’ll help ensure the smooth running of our operations so our global aviation customers get the service they need, when they need it.

Supply Chain Operative (Level 3)

Be part of the team that keeps aircraft parts moving. From stock control to logistics and shipping, you’ll help ensure the right parts get to the right place on time – critical to keeping planes in the air.

Procurement (Level 3)

Learn how to source, negotiate, and manage supplier relationships to secure high-quality aircraft parts at the right cost. Your work will directly impact AJW’s ability to deliver for our airline customers.

Sales Executive (Level 4)

Build relationships with airlines and aviation partners, learn how to manage accounts, and develop sales strategies that help AJW grow its global customer base.

Regulatory Compliance Officer (Level 3)

Help maintain the highest safety, compliance, and quality standards in aviation. You’ll support audits, analyse risks, and contribute to continuous improvement projects that keep AJW operating at world-class levels.
