What you will gain:

  • Working with data from across the business including sales, aftersales and parts. Sourcing, organising, analysing and presenting it so company teams make better, faster decisions
  • Full training will be provided alongside your Level 3 Data Technician apprenticeship so no previous experience in data or the minibus and coach sector will be needed to apply

Key Responsibilities:

Will include, but not be limited to, the following:

Sourcing & Managing Data

  • Collaborating with colleagues, customers and partners at all levels to create real value from data

Who you will be:

  • Someone who is curious with good attention to detail, a logical mindset and a genuine interest in numbers and technology.
  • Someone confident using Microsoft Excel and Office; experience with Power BI and other data tools is an advantage but not essential
