Apprenticeship Roles
Our apprenticeships could be the perfect fit for you.
We’ve got a wide range on offer, so there’s something for everyone. From engineering and technology, to business administration, finance and more, with us, you can take the first step to your future career.
Apprenticeships are an excellent way to achieve debt-free qualifications and follow a career in a chosen field. We’ve got a variety of apprenticeships, so there’s lots for you to choose from.
We know that university and college aren’t for everyone. So, by combining practical, on-the-job training and off-the-job learning, our apprenticeships are a great alternative. They’ll provide you with key work experience and a nationally recognised qualification, all while getting paid. Our goal is to invest in your talent, unlock your true potential and set you up for success from the start.
Even after your apprenticeship is over, you can continue learning for as long as you want to. We’re big on learning here, so if you’re the kind of person who craves knowledge, we’ll support you all the way.

What do our apprentices think?
When it comes to the benefit of our apprenticeships, don’t take our word for it. Here’s what some of our apprentices said!
“I came to Veolia without any qualifications so was really pleased to be given the opportunity of joining the apprenticeship programme. I have now completed my level 2 and 3 in Sustainable Waste Management and have been promoted to Supervisor. This has been a fantastic opportunity for me and has really boosted my confidence, it’s something I never thought I could achieve.”
“I think apprenticeships are great. I have gained really valuable work experience, working directly with customers and other teams, and learning about what other departments in the business do. I’ve earned a wage whilst training which is a real bonus, and I have made a really good start to my career.”
“I came to Veolia as an Engineering apprentice and have really enjoyed the programme. I have learnt loads on the course and have had a chance to use my new skills at work every day. I am now taking a higher apprenticeship which will bring lots of new opportunities for development for me and allow me to get on. I would recommend apprenticeships to anyone.”
