As an IT Support Apprentice, you’ll work with innovative technology to ensure our business runs efficiently by executing technical procedures and providing high‑quality first and second‑line support. You’ll resolve hardware, operating‑system, and software issues while supporting the IT and telecommunications infrastructure that keeps our fulfilment network connected.

You’ll be based in one of our UK Fulfilment Centres, where millions of products are processed and shipped to customers worldwide. The environment is fast‑paced and highly energised – perfect for those who thrive on learning, problem‑solving, and making a real impact.

What You’ll Do

• Provide first and second‑line technical support to internal users
• Install, configure, and maintain IT hardware and software
• Use diagnostic tools to troubleshoot and resolve network or system issues
• Monitor performance, apply security updates, and manage IT assets

Who We’re Looking For

• Have strong analytical and problem‑solving skills

• Are proactive, organised, and attentive to detail
• Can thrive in a fast‑paced environment and adapt to new challenges
• No previous IT experience is required – just enthusiasm, a growth mindset, and a willingness to learn

Your Development

At Amazon, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. You’ll learn by doing, supported by world‑class coaching, mentoring, and structured training.

This 18‑month programme combines on‑the‑job experience with formal learning, giving you the opportunity to earn a recognised qualification while developing practical technical skills. You’ll spend 80 % of your time working alongside IT professionals and 20 % in structured learning, supported by your training provider and manager.

As part of your off‑the‑job learning, you may occasionally travel to a training centre, depending on your provider’s location.
