Kohler Mira encompasses 3 successful brands: Kohler UK, Mira Showers and Rada.

We have a strong history of apprenticeships and aim to offer valuable training and experience which benefit both our businesses and the individuals working towards them.

If you are enthusiastic, ambitious and driven, we challenge you to join our Award-Winning apprenticeship scheme as a Business Apprentice, become a part of our ever-growing apprenticeship scheme, and take advantage of the opportunities we provide to develop your skills.

Rada (our commercial business).

Your apprenticeship will last for 24 months, during which time you will rotate around different departments, working on projects that support your development and align to your apprenticeship.

You will be taught, and will put into practice, a range of business skills.

You will be supported by a dedicated apprentice manager who will oversee your development, college progress, and ensure you are working on value-add business projects.

You will join an ever-growing cohort of apprentices across the business and engineering function all focused on working towards similar goals.

We encourage and empower our apprentices to strive for achievement with many of them having won awards at nationally recognised events for Sustainability, and Contact Centre contributions, and recognition awards through their colleges.

Key / Specific Responsibilities

The placements you complete will give you a broad view of the business and help identify your strengths, with the support of a designated placement mentor.

Rada covers the commercial (business to business) brand within Kohler Mira, supplying product to places such as hospitals, leisure centres and student accommodation.

While on placement in Rada you will work on projects that will have a real effect on the business.
