💬 Frequently Asked Questions

1️⃣ What does an Operations Apprentice actually do at Go Glass?

A bit of everything that keeps our design and production running smoothly! You’ll help send brochures and samples to customers, check order progress, book deliveries, support our designers with CAD drawings and etched-glass stencils, keep track of stock, and even help test new digital tools. Every day is different — it’s a great way to learn how a creative business really works.

2️⃣ Do I need any experience to apply?

Nope! We’re not looking for experience — we’re looking for attitude. If you’re organised, curious, and keen to learn, we’ll teach you the rest. You’ll get full training in CAD design, Smart software, logistics,AI and production processes.

3️⃣ Will I get a qualification?

Yes! After your first six months with us, we’ll enrol you on an accredited Level 3 Business Administrator NVQ Apprenticeship (or equivalent). You’ll earn while you learn, and finish with a nationally recognised qualification plus tons of hands-on experience.

4️⃣ What’s the working day like?

We work 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday, with a half-hour lunch. You’ll split your time between our office, design studio, and production workshop — so expect a mix of computer work, hands-on jobs, and teamwork. The role is based at our Production Centre, 12a Solopark Trading Estate, Station Road, Pampisford, Cambridge, CB22 3HB.

5️⃣ What kind of person will love this job?

Someone who likes variety, enjoys solving problems, and takes pride in doing things properly. You’ll love it if you’re calm when things get busy, enjoy learning new tech, and like seeing real results from your work.
Oh, and if you can laugh at the occasional bad glass pun — you’ll fit right in. 😄
