BMW opens applications for apprenticeships across its UK sites

This year sees 95 places available across the UK in a wide range of roles including engineering, maintenance, human resources, purchasing and communications, with a start date of September 2022.

This includes around 80 apprentices in the production network, including Mini Plant Oxford, the home of the Mini Electric; Plant Swindon, which produces steel pressings and sub-assemblies for both Mini and BMW; Plant Hams Hall which manufactures highly efficient Mini and BMW engines; and Rolls-Royce at Goodwood.

There are also over 15 apprenticeships in Farnborough at the National Sales Company for MINI and BMW and also Alphabet too.

Simon Farrall, head of apprentice and associate training for BMW Group UK said: “This is a chance for young people to start their career with a major global player in the automotive industry.  We are at the forefront of the biggest changes in the car industry for 100 years, with the shift to electrification and the vital role our industry will play in the decarbonisation of the economy. That makes it one of the most exciting places to start building a career and the breadth of opportunities which BMW Group can offer is extraordinary.  We are very proud of our apprentice scheme and we have many examples of team leaders and senior managers who started their careers as apprentices.”
