If you enjoy hands-on work, problem-solving, and learning how equipment works, our Field Engineering Apprenticeship Programme could be the perfect place to start your career. You'll earn while you learn, gaining practical experience alongside experienced Technical Representatives while working towards a recognised engineering qualification.

No previous engineering experience is required. We're looking for motivated individuals who enjoy working independently, take pride in delivering great customer service, and are eager to develop their technical skills in a field-based engineering role.

At CCEP, we're committed to attracting new talent into our business and developing the next generation of engineers. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences and believe that diverse perspectives make us stronger.

• College learning delivered in block-release format, with accommodation costs fully funded by CCEP where overnight stays are required.
• Progressive development, with opportunities to begin attending planned maintenance and customer breakdown calls independently as your skills and confidence grow.
• A starting salary of £27,492, plus a company van, iPhone, annual salary reviews, and access to our employee share scheme.
• Excellent benefits including up to 12% company pension contribution, private medical insurance, five weeks' annual leave plus bank holidays, wellbeing support, and flexible benefits.
• The opportunity to build a long-term career within a world-class organisation that values inclusion, wellbeing, and continuous development.

Based from home, you'll join one of our regional engineering teams supporting customers across your territory. Our Technical Representatives maintain more than 150,000 vending, cooling, and dispense equipment assets across over 110,000 customer locations throughout Great Britain.

• Deliver excellent customer service while representing CCEP professionally.
• Work safely at all times, maintaining a zero-accident mindset.
• Develop your technical knowledge and successfully complete your apprenticeship qualification.
• Follow agreed ways of working and contribute to team performance objectives.
