Apprenticeships at FUCHS

Raveena joined FUCHS UK in July 2022 as an Apprentice Customer Service Administrator, offering support within major accounts, customer services, and export departments. Raveena is currently studying for a Diploma in Customer Services.

“I was interested in an apprenticeship at FUCHS as I knew they would offer me the opportunity to gain and further my skills in different working environments, which would also help me to understand what career path I want to take in the future. I also believe an apprenticeship will help me gain experience whilst learning, as well as enable me to develop confidence whilst working in a team.

My daily tasks consist of processing key account orders and dealing with customer queries, setting up new accounts, amending account information, scanning and indexing documents such as delivery notes, orders, customer information, export orders, account information and checking orders that have been placed.

I would like to further my career by continuing to gain skills and develop the ones that I already have in different areas of the company.”

Luke joined FUCHS UK in April 2022 as an Apprentice Warehouse Operative, supporting the distribution of products to our customers, and is currently studying for a Supply Chain Warehouse qualification.

“My interest in joining FUCHS started when I researched the Company and saw how much of a world-renowned and respected Company it is within its industry. When I saw the opportunity and experience they could offer me I knew it was the best option for myself and my future.

My daily tasks on the shop floor consist of handling returns that come back from our clients, ensuring they are checked to make sure they are suitable and within specification to go back into stock.

In the future, I hope to work my way up to being a manager within the Company.”

Calum joined FUCHS in November 2020 as an Apprentice Technical Administrator. Since Calum joined the Company, he has been involved in numerous departmental improvement projects and is currently studying for a Level 5 Project Management qualification.

“I joined FUCHS as the role offered me many different avenues of where it could take me.

My current role consists of data reporting to the industrial product management team, holiday management and organising conferences, training and hotels. RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is becoming a big part of my role.

I would like to take more of a deep dive into RPA, possibly becoming an RPA Developer to hopefully build processes that can benefit the business.”

Reece started with FUCHS in August 2021 as an Apprentice Customer Service Chemist, within our customer service laboratory. Reece also supports the Quality Control (QC) laboratory. Reece is currently studying for a Level 5 Laboratory Technician qualification.

“I have always been interested in chemistry and I wanted to find an opportunity to progress in this field. My apprenticeship with FUCHS allows me to gain ‘real-world’ experience of working within a lab and learn the required skills to progress my career within this role while also allowing me to work towards gaining my qualification in HND in Applied Science.

My daily tasks consist of completing analysis on used oil samples to determine whether samples are still within specification and then reporting the findings. The data can be sent out to the customers with the findings of the testing to determine the best course of action to be taken on their system.

I would like to further my career by carrying on with my education and developing my current skills within the laboratory and then progressing into research and development.”

Aleema joined FUCHS UK in July 2022 as an Apprentice Product Management Assistant, working within the Automotive Product Management team. She is currently studying for a Business Administration qualification.

“Becoming an apprentice seemed very appealing to me as I would gain experience whilst also gaining a qualification. Whilst researching, I came across FUCHS and I knew it was the right company for me to develop in as there are ample opportunities for career growth. FUCHS is a well-established global company that goes out of its way for its employees.

My daily tasks consist of reviewing reports every morning, creating forms for the introduction/deletion of products, raising tasks and assigning them to relevant departments, reviewing the situations of current stock and products, working with other departments including marketing and materials management for the set-up of products/labels, designing and printing product labels and reviewing the label order book. I enjoy being able to take on different tasks, especially the ones that require me to be working with colleagues from different departments.

Working at FUCHS whilst studying for a Level 3 in Business Administration has helped me to broaden my knowledge about the company's values, mission and goals and has allowed me to think about the ways I can contribute to FUCHS achieving its future mission. My future goal is to continue developing further with FUCHS and to establish myself as a valuable member of the product management department. I would like to further enhance my knowledge and skills as much as I can to help FUCHS achieve its business goals.”

Harvey started at FUCHS UK in September 2021 as an Apprentice Distribution Management Assistant, offering support to both the company’s Distribution and Warehouse functions.

Harvey has recently achieved a Business Administration qualification.

“The idea of an apprenticeship, rather than going to college full time, felt like the right option for me. FUCHS stood out as a multinational company that is very stable and reliable.

My daily tasks consist of scanning delivery notes, updating files, organising trip manifests, updating relevant spreadsheets, and creating dangerous goods notes.

My future goals are to work my way up in the Company, and to gain experience that can then be passed onto future apprentices.”
