Are you curious about how products are made and delivered in a manufacturing setting? If the answer is Yes! Then here at CEUK we have a great opportunity to launch your career in supply chain with a focus on production planning and procurement - two critical functions that keep manufacturing running smoothly.
As a CEUK Supply Chain Apprentice, you’ll gain hands-on experience in materials planning, supplier coordination, purchasing, and logistics, all while working towards a nationally recognised qualification. If you're organised, detail-oriented, and eager to learn, we’d love to hear from you.
What You’ll Learn with Us
Planning & Scheduling
* Assisting in the creation of and maintenance of detailed production schedules in line with customer demand and manufacturing capacity.
* Monitor inventory levels of raw materials, components, and finished goods, highlighting potential shortages or surpluses.
* Support the demand forecasting process using historical data and trends rates.
* Liaise with production supervisors to ensure the schedule is realistic and any delays are communicated and resolved.
Procurement & Supplier Management
* Help raise and manage purchase orders for raw materials, packaging, and manufacturing components.
* Contact suppliers to confirm delivery dates, follow up on outstanding orders, and resolve any discrepancies.
* Assist with sourcing alternative suppliers or materials when needed to avoid disruption to production.
* Maintain accurate supplier records, pricing information, and performance tracking.
Continuous Improvement & Support
* Participate in supply chain meetings to discuss production performance, stock issues, and procurement challenges.
* Support improvement projects focused on lead time reduction, cost efficiency, and waste minimisation.
* Work collaboratively with internal departments including operations, finance, and customer service.
* Complete apprenticeship coursework and attend any training required as part of the program.

If This Sounds Like You, You’ll Likely Have
* A keen eye for detail and a proactive, can-do attitude
* Good time management and the ability to stay organised
* Clear communication skills, both written and spoken
* Confidence working with numbers, spreadsheets, and basic IT systems (like Microsoft Excel and data entry)
Most importantly, you’ll be someone who’s excited to learn, work hard, and make the most of the opportunities ahead!
