As a Technical Operator Apprentice at Nestlé, you’ll develop the skills you need for a secure and fulfilling career in manufacturing, with opportunities for growth that you just don’t find elsewhere. We’re the largest food and drink manufacturer in the world and a hub of expertise in manufacturing. Join us, and we’ll help you build a solid foundation for a successful and long-lasting career in manufacturing.
What can you expect?
Over the course of two and half years, our dedicated mentors will show you everything you need to know to effectively support food and drink production in our factories. You’ll master skills like start up and shut down of our machines, and how to use sophisticated automation technology. With hands-on experience in diagnosing and solving problems, you’ll play a key role in keeping our manufacturing process running smoothly. With support at every step, you’ll have the confidence to do the role for real and take your career to new heights.
Step into our vibrant multi-sensory factory environment, where sight, sound and touch will come alive! Join our team and immerse yourself in our hands-on workplace, driving innovation and creativity every day.
What will you get out of it?
Starting with a competitive annual salary, which will be reviewed throughout the scheme, you’ll also be part of an organisation that values your personal growth and is committed to supporting your development. At Nestlé, there’s no limit to how far your ambition can take you to help you reach your full potential.
On successful completion of your apprenticeship, you will achieve the L3 Technical Operator Apprenticeship.
