Bentley opens applications for 2023 apprenticeship intake

The recruitment drive intends to accelerate the brand’s forward thinking Beyond100 strategy, the boldest plan of its kind in the automotive sector, to deliver a brand new fully electric model range by 2030. The delivery of Bentley’s ambitious Five-in-Five plan, which commits to five new electric models by 2030, will redefine the luxury marque’s credentials as the benchmark manufacturer in sustainable luxury mobility.

With a strong emphasis on electrical systems competence, digital software technology knowledge and project management skills, the new cohort will help drive Bentley’s ambitious future. Roles will be based at Bentley’s headquarters in Crewe with the option of a blend of onsite and remote hybrid working.

Dr. Karen Lange, Member of the Board for Human Resources at Bentley Motors, commented: “Extraordinary people and products have always been at the heart of our business, and now is such an exciting time to join Bentley as we transform our entire operations in the coming years towards the electric era. Our new recruits will help underline our ambitions and shape the company, designing and creating the true epitome of sustainable luxury mobility.”    

As a Bentley apprentice, colleagues will work beside some of brightest minds in the automotive industry while studying towards a recognised higher educational qualification. Applicants will have the choice between a level 2: GCSE, level 3: BTEC / A level, level 4/5: HNC/HND Foundation degree and level 6: Bachelor’s degree qualification for the intermediate, advanced, higher and degree apprenticeship schemes respectively.

Bentley is committed to consistently improving colleague experiences in the workplace with multi-million pound investments in new engineering offices, collaboration zones and open office spaces. Earlier this year, the company was awarded Top Employer status for the twelfth consecutive year by the Top Employers Institute which recognises global employers who make every effort to continually improve the standard of work for its colleagues.
