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

As a Supply Chain Apprentice, you’ll rotate through five key teams, spending roughly 6-9 months in each to gain full end‑to‑end experience.

  • Production Control - You’ll learn how customer orders are sequenced into the manufacturing process and how systems are used to keep production running smoothly
  • Transport & Packaging - You’ll support the design and management of cost‑efficient transport plans that move parts to the Plant in the most effective way
  • Material Methods - This team manages internal stores, warehouse locations, and all supporting systems. You’ll also get involved in future projects and continuous improvement
  • Material Follow - You’ll work directly with the global supplier base, issuing delivery schedules, tracking supply issues, managing part setup, and supporting daily stock control
  • Operations - You’ll gain hands‑on experience receiving deliveries, unloading and loading vehicles, and moving parts across the Plant while supporting warehouse operations

You’ll also spend time with other departments around the Plant to broaden your understanding of how the full operation works.
