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
You'll work alongside experienced members of the Transport Team, learning how a commercial vehicle fleet is actually run behind the scenes.
Day to day, you'll get hands-on with the trucks and haulage side of the business - helping plan maintenance and MOTs for HGVs, understanding how vehicles are kept safe and roadworthy, and learning how driver hours, tachographs, and paperwork all keep the fleet legally on the road.
You'll also start to understand how loads are planned, how routes and driver schedules come together, and what it takes to keep a haulage operation running smoothly and compliantly.
You don't need any experience - that's what the apprenticeship is for. Alongside your on-the-job training, you'll work towards a recognised Level 3 qualification, plus the Transport Manager CPC (a qualification that normally costs a lot of money but is fully paid for as part of this role). By the end, you'll have real hands-on experience in the haulage industry and a professional qualification that can lead into a career as a Transport Manager.
