About Pfizer

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

As an apprentice, you will naturally focus your efforts on promoting our environmental programmes and initiatives, both locally in the UK and globally across our Commercial network. You will gain knowledge of a wide range of environmental topics and activities, to support delivery of our environment and sustainability strategy to achieve Net Zero by 2040 and have the opportunity to promote our environment and sustainability programmes through participation in the hugely successful Pfizer Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Ambassador programme.

If you would like to help us change behaviours and further improve our culture to one where working sustainably and thinking about the environmental impact of our activities becomes second nature to all of us working at Pfizer, then we would like to hear from you.

What can I achieve, and what will I be accountable for whilst completing an apprenticeship at Pfizer? After the necessary training and under close tutelage, this role will provide valuable resources for the delivery and day-to-day activities described above. The role will involve interactions within Research and Development laboratories and facilities and will provide the role holder with valuable first-hand experience of the environment, health and safety management systems and programmes necessary to maintain business operations and the risk profiles in each of these workspaces.
