Modern Apprentice - Logistics Operations

The Opportunity

This Modern Apprenticeship in Logistics Operations is a great way to get started in an important frontline service within Angus Council. You’ll be part of the Waste and Recycling team, helping keep things running smoothly by supporting tasks like vehicle checks, route planning, and looking at operational data.

We’re after someone who’s motivated, reliable, and keen to learn. You don’t need any experience — what matters is your attitude and willingness to pick up new skills. You’ll get plenty of support from experienced colleagues while you work towards a recognised qualification in Logistics Operations.

Because you’ll be travelling between different depots and sites across Angus, you’ll need a valid driving licence.

If you’re interested in logistics, problem solving, and doing work that genuinely helps local communities, this apprenticeship is a brilliant opportunity. It gives you a solid starting point for future roles in the council or the wider sector, all while earning, learning, and growing as part of a supportive team.
