What to Expect

Our Logistics Team are responsible for ensuring our business has all the materials needed to operate, maintain and upgrade our network safely and efficiently. Receiving and managing materials into our distribution centre, we’re responsible for cataloguing and distributing materials to facilitate the delivery of these key projects, and even more crucially, the day to day running of the business. With commitments to achieve Net Zero as early as 2030, we’re working hard to create a more sustainable and efficient network for our customers, communities and stakeholders, and we need Logistics Apprentices to help us deliver. Because without you, our business would come to a halt!

As a Logistics Apprentice, you’ll be responsible for receiving materials into our warehouses. You’ll need to learn to drive and operate a forklift truck safely and competently – but don’t worry, we’ll provide and pay for your training. You’ll be responsible for checking the condition of the stock when it arrives in and departs from our distribution centre and you’ll make sure that our stock management system is kept updated – because without this our business cannot function.

If you live in Scotland, you’ll be provided with on-the job training through Fife College at our Logistics Depot in Bonnybridge. You’ll complete a Modern Apprenticeship in Freight Logistics and at the end of your programme you’ll continue to work in our Bonnybridge depot.

If you live in Wales or England, your on-the-job training will take place at our Logistics Depot in Queensferry through Cambria College. You’ll do an Apprenticeship in Warehousing and Logistics and once you complete your college course, you’ll continue to work in our Queensferry depot.

Entry Requirements 

For both courses you’ll need National 4s or GCSEs at a minimum of D / 3 (or equivalent) in English and Maths.
