Company Profile

A-Plant is one of the UK’s largest plant, tool and equipment hire companies, forming part of the FTSE 100 company Ashtead Group Plc., the second largest equipment rental company in the world.

A-Plant offers a wide range of equipment for rent, from general plant and tools (excavators, dumpers, telehandlers and drills etc.) to powered access, power generation and self-contained accommodation units. A-Plant has experienced rapid recent growth, more than doubling revenues in the past five years.

With over 3,500 employees based at over 165 locations, we offer exciting development opportunities at all levels especially for new entrants embarking on an apprenticeship.

Our outstanding commitment to employing, developing and supporting apprentices was recognised in January 2017 when we awarded Top 100 apprentice employer status. We employ over 140 apprentices across different disciplines such as customer service, plant maintenance and mechanical engineering. Some of our programmes like plant maintenance and mechanical engineering offer a block release college model whereby the apprentice attends a college for up to 16 weeks over an academic year, all paid for by A-Plant. The customer service apprenticeship is on the job training whereby they are appointed an assessor who visits them in the workplace so they don’t attend college. More details of our various apprenticeship programs, can be found on our website at www.aplant.com/careers.

Our Apprenticeship schemes integrate what we believe to be the key fundamentals to a successful Apprenticeship programme; education, the work environment and personal development.

With over 70 exciting vacancies across the UK available, a starting salary of £10,500, annual incentives whilst on the apprenticeship programme and the opportunity to earn a very competitive salary post apprenticeship, visit www.aplant.com/careers and apply today!
