Why join us as an apprentice?

Our programme is designed to provide hands-on experience across various IT functions, equipping you with the skills and knowledge to work both independently and collaboratively within a dynamic IT team.

Although we're sixty years old, it doesn't feel like it when you work here. You can expect the professionalism and high standards of a larger company – yet you won’t be pigeon-holed into a narrow role.

The sense of teamwork is unique – ‘together’ is one of our core values – and we make sure people feel welcome and included, so they can be themselves at work.

What we’re looking for:

Qualifications: A minimum of three Highers (BBC) or equivalent, including English, Maths, and one STEM subject (IT preferred but not essential).

A genuine passion for IT, with a desire to develop expertise in IT systems and processes.

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage with colleagues and customers.

Strong problem-solving skills and an analytical mindset.

Reliable, committed, and self-motivated, with good time management and multitasking abilities.

Resilient, adaptable, and eager to learn in a fast-paced environment.

Bring your energy, Grow your career.

Equity, diversity and inclusion at Aggreko

We welcome people from different backgrounds and cultures, and respect people’s unique skills, attitudes and experiences. We encourage everyone to be themselves at work because we know that’s how we do our best, for each other, for our customers, for the communities where we work, and for our careers.

We are an equal opportunity employer. If you apply for a role at Aggreko, we will consider your application based on your qualifications and experience, and not on your race, colour, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
