We believe your potential deserves a place to shine. Our apprenticeships give you the space to build confidence, develop real‑world skills, and join a community where you can be your authentic self.

You’ll work with leaders who model integrity, good judgement, and a commitment to creating safe, respectful, and empowering environments where everyone can thrive.
** What you can expect
*** An inclusive culture that welcomes you and values your unique perspective
* Supportive leaders who champion your growth and celebrate your progress
* Skills that set you up for success, including respected qualifications and hands‑on experience
* A safe and encouraging environment focused on wellbeing, learning, and confidence
** About the role
** As a Diageo Engineering Apprentice in Stirling, you’ll step into a hands‑on, high‑energy environment where curiosity is encouraged, and your development genuinely matters. This is your opportunity to learn from seasoned engineers, work with cutting‑edge technology, and grow your confidence within a supportive team that values diverse perspectives and fresh ideas.

You’ll join a community that wants you to thrive as an engineer of the future. You’ll also help build the next chapter of world-renowned brands.
** What You’ll Get Involved In
*** Supporting our engineers in keeping production lines running efficiently and safely
* Learning directly from experts on the ground and building your technical skills along the way
* Shadowing expert team members to see how real engineering challenges are approached and solved
* Presenting your project work, showcasing your learning and contributing new ideas
* Delivering a weekly job review to strengthen your communication skills, confidence, and self‑reflection

This four‑year programme helps you build strong technical foundations and a recognised qualification in one of the following pathways:
* ** HNC Engineering Systems**
* ** HNC Mechanical Engineering
** This 4-year programme will see you spend your 1st year at Forth Valley College of Further Education learning all theoretical understanding of the apprenticeship, followed by 3 years based at Diageo Black grange with real hands-on experience and day release for college. Your final year will introduce working at any one of our 7 maturation south sites across central Scotland, operating independently with tradespeople and as part of a team of engineers.

** Who Thrives in This Programme
** You’re someone who shows up with curiosity first and confidence second — because you know real growth starts with being humble, asking questions, and being willing to work your way up. You’re not afraid to start at the bottom, learn from the people around you, and put in the hard work that makes progress feel earned.

You’re eager to develop yourself, open to feedback, and excited about opportunities that challenge you. You don’t need to be a leader every day, but when there’s a gap or a moment that calls for it, you’re ready to step up naturally.

Whether it’s a hobby that keeps your mind active or a bit of technical curiosity that spills into your spare time, you love exploring how things work. And yes, you’ve got enough physical energy to get the job done when the role demands it.

You’re real, grounded, and ready to grow. And that’s exactly what makes you stand out.
** Key Skills & Strengths**
* ** Curious mindset**
* ** Hard‑working & reliable** - You take pride in putting the effort in, even when it’s not glamorous.
