So do we. We believe our apprenticeship programmes are a great alternative for those who would like to immerse themselves into their career, learning and developing skills both through college, and on the job. Especially as you’ll gain a technical and occupational qualification whilst earning a salary, as well as the reputation that comes with working for a pioneering company like Yunex Traffic.

Here at Yunex Traffic we want to make mobility safer, more efficient, and more sustainable with forward‑looking infrastructure and transport solutions. Yunex Traffic designs, markets, manufactures, installs, and maintains a wide portfolio of international traffic management products and is the UK market leader in the traffic signal business. This includes intersection and pedestrian traffic controllers, intelligent urban traffic control systems, variable message signs, public transport, and car park guidance systems to enhance road safety and improve traffic flow in congested urban and inter‑urban areas.

Yunex Traffic recognise that building a diverse workforce is critical to the success of our business. We strongly encourage applications from a diverse talent pool and welcome the opportunity to discuss flexibility requirements and workplace adjustments with all our applicants to encourage agile working and innovation.

Part of being a #Traffic Transformer apprentice at Yunex Traffic means you get to work on real life projects whilst also being supported on a guided learning journey and often experiencing different areas within the business.

Our apprentices get the opportunity to find their passion and in turn, we get to experience their drive and zest for new ideas and initiatives. We are always looking for apprentices who want to make a difference to the world we live in.

This will be a Level 3 apprenticeship, over a 4‑year period.
