We are continuing to grow and are excited to offer an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join us as an Apprentice Technical Sales & Projects Engineer at our Bury St Edmunds branch.

In this role, you’ll gain hands-on experience in both the technical and commercial aspects of HVAC system sales and project delivery.

We’re looking for someone with a real interest in engineering, particularly air conditioning and refrigeration, and a willingness to learn.

• Self-motivation
• A keen willingness to learn
• A full UK driving licence
• Good IT skills (Excel, Word, email; basic CAD a bonus)
• A professional and organised approach to your work
• An open and friendly personality

We believe in investing in our people. As an apprentice, you’ll receive one-to-one mentoring from experienced team members, with a clear pathway for development as your skills grow. Many of our apprentices have gone on to long-term careers within the company — and we’re proud to help them get there.

At Pitkin & Ruddock, you’re more than just a number — you’re part of a team that values quality, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.

• A structured apprenticeship pathway with hands-on support
• Full training and development opportunities
• Exposure to real-world projects from day one
• A friendly and professional working environment
• Opportunities for progression into technical sales and project engineering roles
• Supportive and collaborative work environment
