Ibstock Management Trainee Programme

We are passionate about the recruitment and development of talented individuals so that we can continue to surpass our customers’ expectations. This programme offers you the chance to train for a highly skilled role, gain a nationally recognised qualification and get paid while you learn!We offer two apprenticeships which both focus on the knowledge and skills required to manufacture our products to the highest standard. Our Clay Manufacturing Management Trainee Apprenticeship at level 6 is a 4-year programme where you will undertake the Material Science Technologist Apprenticeship which includes a degree in Materials.
Our Concrete Manufacturing Management Trainee Apprenticeship is a 4-year programme where you will undertake the Mineral Products Technician Apprenticeship at Level 5.
Both apprenticeships include Ibstock Technical Modules which will give you the technical skills required for the role. We will also help you develop the attitudes and behaviours essential to the safe and efficient operation of our factories. As a Management Trainee you will have a base factory location but will be expected to travel and stay at other locations within the Ibstock Group to work alongside fully qualified professionals, developing your vocational knowledge and skills at the same time as completing your academic qualifications. Where could it take you? At the end of your programme the doors will open to a career in our organisation. Upon completion of the programme you will have attained the skills and knowledge to start your career with Ibstock Group as an Assistant Technical Manager or Production Team Leader at one of our factories. If you want to progress up the career ladder, you can take on people management responsibilities and develop into a Technical or Production Manager. It doesn’t have to stop there, your skills, drive and determination will open up many exciting opportunities within the Ibstock Group. Meet our current and past Management Trainees"My apprenticeship at Ibstock has been a brilliant start to my working life. However, the path to this point was not so smooth.Growing up, I found the education system challenging. It’s not designed to support students with additional needs such as my Autism and ADHD. The structure of a university course doesn’t always support autism in the way we need.Working at Ibstock has really enabled me to understand the working environment and gain some amazing experience alongside qualifications. I get to develop my skills working with mineral products and train to join management, where I can use my experiences to really make a difference for those following my path who will need support."Throckley factory“My dad has been working on the Ibstock Brick production line for more than 15 years and I always saw how passionate he was about his job and the company he works for. So, when it came to deciding between university and a trainee programme, I knew I wanted to follow in his footsteps. Choosing Ibstock Brick's Management Trainee Programme meant that I could make the most out of practical and theoretical study. Ibstock really values us and our education. We've been able to enjoy hands on experience with production managers, while also having the opportunity to study at the University of Derby and gain theoretical qualifications that put us on the path towards becoming part of the team.”Eclipse factoryTom joined Ibstock Brick in September 2014 on our Trainee Management Programme, previously known as Ibstock Brick's Apprenticeship scheme, as a mature Technical apprentice initially based at the Dorket Head factory. Tom won the company "Apprentice of the Year" award that year. Having transferred to Leicester's Eclipse Factory as part of the project team in 2016, Tom has gone on to be promoted to Technical Manager in 2017 and to Factory Manager in 2021.Phil Atherton, Process Improvement EngineerRavenhead factory"After leaving school, I was a little lost in what I should do next. I saw the Ibstock role advertised I thought I’d give it a go. Since joining Ibstock, I have achieved an honours degree, won apprentice of the year and have now been working in the business for almost 10 years. It’s such an exciting and diverse company, giving me invaluable experience across multiple divisions and disciplines that I hope will stand me in a great position for the future. For anyone thinking about an apprenticeship, I would seriously consider this programme. This programme gives you the opportunity to learn while you earn and start developing your career much sooner."Management Trainee VacanciesOur Management Trainee vacancies for 2024 are now closed.
