Liebherr Container Cranes has long been recognised as a pioneer in the provision of apprenticeships with the first trainees enrolled in 1959 and since then over 1,000 apprentices have been tutored in Killarney.

The apprentice training model combines a practical and theoretical education, delivered with the cooperation of SOLAS, the state body with responsibility for training and further education.

The scheme has proved very successful over the years, with graduates occupying a wide variety of roles within the company, up to and including managing director.

To apply for these roles, applicants should send an up to date CV, a copy of their Leaving and Junior Cert results and a cover letter specifying the role of interest to apprenticerecruit.lcc@liebherr.com. Any further documents such as training certificates, references, project details and awards should also be included.

The closing date for receipt of completed applications is Friday, September 6 and applicants must be at least 16 years of age on 1 January 2020. Successful candidates will benefit from a competitive package, fully paid training and education, excellent future employment and progression prospects, along with the opportunity to travel the world.
