Why choose Ernest Doe Power?

The company is a family-owned business which can trace its roots back to 1898. It employs more than 500 staff operating from 21 locations and has become the UK’s largest agricultural, construction and groundcare machinery dealership. Ernest Doe & Sons Limited has a policy of maintaining planned steady growth. This has established a reliable source of products and product support for its customers as well as developing a stable employment environment for its staff.

Upon completion of the apprenticeship scheme, all employees are reviewed and have the opportunity to become a fully qualified technician or parts adviser within the company, increasing their career development opportunities to progress to either service or parts management, company demonstrators, technical sales or branch management. 80% of the Senior Management Team started with the company as apprentices.

Apprentices will be mainly based at an Ernest Doe or Ernest Doe Power branch but will attend 3 x 3 week blocks per year at Writtle University College. During this time the training will be split between campus and the CNH Training Centre in Basildon. This is a fantastic learning experience, with training from specialist staff who will ensure that the apprentices gain the technical knowledge required for a successful career in modern agricultural engineering.

4 x GCSEs at Grade 4/C or above to include English, Maths and Science is the preferred entry requirements. There may be some flexibility but, as a minimum, applicants must have no less than GCSE Grade 3/D in English and Maths.
