About the apprenticeship
Duties
We are looking for a passionate, curious colleague to join us as a Digital and AI Engineer.
This is a hands-on, entry-level role designed for someone who already understands how our business works - the processes, the challenges on the shop floor, in supply chain, commercial or customer service - and who is excited to get stuck in with practical digital tools, automation and AI to improve them.
You do not need to be a fully independent AI engineer from day one. What we need is a logical thinker who can see the structure in processes, spot where manual effort can be reduced, and who has a genuine, high level of interest in IT, digital solutions and all elements of AI. You will work directly with a range of digital and AI tools, receiving supervised workplace experience and support as you learn to design, develop, test and document real solutions that make a difference across the business.

• Support simple integration and data preparation tasks under guidance.
• Handle data responsibly and follow agreed security, access control and governance standards.
• Work with IT and security colleagues to ensure solutions are safe and appropriate for business use.
Stakeholder Support and Professional Practice
• Work with colleagues across IT, operations, supply chain, commercial and customer service teams.
• Help gather requirements and explain technical ideas in clear business language.
• Take part in project discussions, demonstrations and review sessions.
• Build evidence of learning and practical contribution in the role.
Governance, Policy and Audit Support
• Work with IT colleagues to identify and address any policy or governance gaps under guidance.
• Help ensure that digital and AI solutions remain compliant with company policies and regulatory expectations.
• Support the creation and maintenance of clear documentation and evidence to meet internal and external audit requirements.
• Learn and apply the agreed standards for data handling, access control, security and responsible AI use.
• Follow and apply the requirements of the IT Manual, AI Policy and Compliance Policy in all day-to-day work.
