Commercial Apprentice

You’ll be hands-on, working as part of our commercial teams who are responsible for winning orders and maintaining customer relationships. Receive in-house training to really understand the full range of Portakabin products and services. Develop valuable skills such as effective communication, relationship building, presentation techniques and business development skills. Create commercial proposals and deliver them in a format, style and technique suiting our customers. Receive various channels of support including your line manager, Area Hire Managers, colleagues, and a mentor. You will also network with other apprentices across the business.

Training:
As an apprentice with Portakabin you will complete a Level 4 Sales Executive qualification supported through a blended learning approach with Mercuri International. You will also carry out a structured in-house development programme to attain the relevant skills, knowledge and behaviours required to achieve your apprenticeship. Throughout the duration of your apprenticeship you will be appointed a workplace mentor to support you with your learning.

Training Outcome:
We have lots of fantastic success stories from previous apprentices who have gone on to achieve industry recognised qualifications through their apprenticeships and many of our past apprentices are still working within the business today or have gone onto have successful careers elsewhere. Our workplace culture will allow you to pick up not only the knowledge and skills to be used in your future career but also experience working in a professional but relaxed environment that will give you the confidence to excel in your role and develop as a professional. We truly believe that we put our people at the heart of everything we do, and you will have the job security and development opportunities that are rare in the current climate, so why not join us, and be a part of our continuing growth and success? With exciting future ambitions, we couldn’t think of a better time for you to join us!
