Data Analyst Apprenticeship

At Hexcel, one person can make the difference. You’ll join a team that powers aerospace and advanced industries with high‑performance composite materials, while developing your career through real responsibility, mentoring and formal learning. Their hiring approach emphasises growth, inclusion and meaningful impact from day one. 

You will support the European Supply Chain team with data, analysis and coordination that improves material flow, service, inventory and schedule adherence across Hexcel sites and partners. You’ll rotate through core supply chain activities, learn their planning systems, and help turn data into actions that our plants and customers feel.

Alongside their role, the apprentice will complete a fully funded training programme with Baltic Apprenticeships, delivered through structured two-day training blocks every four to six weeks. This programme provides industry-relevant learning, recognised qualifications, and the opportunity to apply newly developed skills directly within the workplace.
