Digital Energy Commercial Apprentice

You will join an energetic team to support the commercial success of the organisation by combining strategic thinking with practical business skills. As a Level 6 Commercial Apprentice, you will learn to analyse market trends, manage commercial risks, and contribute to profitable decision-making. Your mission is to bring fresh perspectives, collaborate across teams, and help deliver value-driven solutions that strengthen our competitive position. Through curiosity and commitment, you will play a vital role in shaping sustainable growth.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage documentation, helping maintain organised, accurate contract files and commercial records.

Training:

During your apprenticeship, you will receive two different types of training. On-the-job training will be delivered by Schneider Electric, as your employer. You’ll receive training and supervision to help you perform the job you’ve been hired to do. This will include skills and knowledge that fall outside of the apprenticeship but are needed for the job role. As well as providing on-the-job training, it is important that we support you in additional ways to ensure your success. Types of support will include:

• A comprehensive induction
• Mentoring or regular one-to-one guidance
• Social enrichment and networking opportunities
• Performance reviews
• Mental health and wellbeing support
• Feedback opportunities

Off-the-job training is delivered by one of our carefully selected Training Providers during your normal working hours. You will spend at least 20% (average 6 hours per week) of your working hours completing off-the-job training. This is protected time and is a requirement for apprenticeship delivery. This training will teach you the knowledge, skills, and behaviours set out in the apprenticeship standard so you can achieve occupational competence.
