Kickstart your career in manufacturing with our unique Degree Apprenticeship Pathway. Earn while you learn, gain industry recognised qualifications, and work your way up from the factory floor to a future leadership role. No Uni fees, just real skills, clear progression, and a long-term career path.

About the Role

Join our first of its kind Degree Apprenticeship Pathway for the Fenestration Industry. If you\'re finishing college with a Level 2 or 3 qualification and want a career that’s hands on, forward thinking, and full of opportunities to progress in a thriving business, this is for you!

At Conservatory Outlet, we’re launching a unique degree apprenticeship designed to take ambitious individuals from the factory floor to the top of the business. This is your chance to earn while you learn, gain industry recognised qualifications, and build a real future in manufacturing without the cost of going to university.

You’ll start by learning the full manufacturing process, developing key skills and knowledge across different areas of the factory. From there, you’ll be supported by a progression plan through the business, with tailored training and courses, all funded by us, with allocated study time to gain the theory behind the practical. We are looking to shape you into one of our future leaders of the business with the view of being Production Manager, Head of Manufacturing, or even Operations Director one day.

We’re not just offering a job. We’re offering a long-term pathway with real progression, hands on experience, and a clear development programme to allow you to succeed. If you’re motivated, practical, and ready to commit to building a career in manufacturing, we would love to hear from you, and why you would be a great fit for us.

When you start, you will:

• Understand the full process of how a window or door is fabricated from start to finish
• Understand production targets, what KPI’s we work towards
• Develop an understanding and are compliant with H&S procedures across the site
• Develop a strong focus on delivering a quality product

• Level 2 or 3 from a skilled course that allows for hands on experience working with hand tools, power tools and the ability to use machinery and computers at a basic level
• Driven, hardworking and dedicated to not just turn up, but have ambition to succeed in the apprenticeship and committed to long term development
• Resilient and ability to adapt to change
• Good communication skills with the ability to work well as a team and follow instructions
• Excellent questioning skills, not afraid to challenge the norm
