Exciting opportunities at all levels

Management Trainee Scheme
We aim to equip ambitious, talented and driven individuals with the skills and experience needed to achieve their goals. Our programme ensures our trainees have a clear plan for their development, with full support on gaining external qualifications as well as internal coaching and mentoring.
Our Management Trainee scheme is designed to encourage self-managed learning and provides opportunities for both academic and work placed development. Our aim is to develop future leaders of the business with a passion for excellence through developing people, learning, innovation, continuous improvement and a belief in the values and behaviours that underpin our culture.
There are a number of entry points for the scheme depending on your previous experience, qualifications and route onto the programme, including school leavers with A levels or T levels and university graduates.
The success of our programme is illustrated by the fact that our Chief Operating Officer, Chris Tredget, started his career as a Management Trainee.
All our Management Trainees graduate with a degree.

Apprentice Scheme
We foster a collaborative environment, building strong partnerships and leveraging collective expertise.
Our apprentices and trainees earn as they learn. Apprentices qualify with Level 2 or 3 qualifications. These qualifications equip them with knowledge, skill and experience, ready for a career with Fortem or new adventures.
We have developed over 350 apprentices to become skilled and qualified, in either the trade, office or specialist subjects, that have become ambassadors of our business. Our award-winning apprenticeships offer the chance to learn life-long skills in our workplace whilst studying for a qualification and earning a competitive salary at the same time. Our ‘Growing Our Own’ initiative reflects our belief that the development and training of our apprentices, trades and staff is key to our success.

I am continually impressed with the levels of ownership, responsibility and, above all, authenticity I have witnessed in the behaviours of so many colleagues. I wouldn’t be working anywhere else.
Mike Harris
General Manager
Taking this apprenticeship was the best decision I could’ve made; it’s rewarding to be challenged and to see my skills grow, to learn new things every day, to know I’m breaking stereotypes, and to feel the respect of those around me as they see my hard work and dedication.
