From Johnnie Walker to Smirnoff, Diageo is searching for Modern Apprentices from different backgrounds who have a voracious appetite for manufacturing culture and supply chain practices. Our products are at the heart of what we do at Diageo Manufacturing and packaging them are some of the most important elements of our business. We operate in a world full of heritage and innovation where age old craftsmanship meets cutting edge science and latest engineering technology, and over the three year programme with us you’ll grow your expertise within the Spirit Supply Centre that is responsible for the day to day management of Diageo’s maturing Scotch and Rum stocks held across Scotland.
 

WE ARE LOOKING FOR CONFIDENT, DYNAMIC AND INSPIRING APPRENTICES.  IS THAT YOU?
 

Our apprenticeships are an ideal place to start a career and be part of a growing and exciting organisation.

To be a great apprentice you’ll need to be highly practical, a great problem solver and interested in how things move and work. In addition you will be an enthusiastic learner willing to grow and develop throughout a 3 year Apprenticeship and have a desire to take on more responsibility as your career develops.

Your main responsibilities will be associated with the management of whisky stocks, 3rd party supply contracts, spirit quality and record management across the department.  Initially, you will be focused on two key areas: Inventory Management and Quality. Further responsibilities within the department will develop in years 2 – 3 of the apprentice programme, enabling you to continue to develop your operational capabilities. You will also be able to take advantage of other projects and opportunities within the department to further develop your capabilities and contribution to the wider business.
