Apprentice Vehicle Converter

Introduction

Are you interested in vehicles, practical work and learning a skilled trade? We are looking for an enthusiastic Apprentice Vehicle Converter to join our team and develop the hands-on skills needed to convert and customise vehicles to meet customer requirements.

About the Employer

Our commitment to the funeral industry is not simply to build vehicles, but to provide market solutions that enable our customers to deliver excellent service.

We achieve this thanks to the technical capabilities of our dedicated team, in-depth market knowledge and a strong forward-thinking ethos. The use of cutting-edge design and manufacturing technology allows us to challenge conventions to produce vehicles that are as innovative, advanced and reliable as they are elegant.

Looking towards the future, we will continue to conceive striking visual designs, develop a fully electric drive train and will bring our German facility on stream, all contributing to the next generation of Europe’s premier ceremonial vehicles.
