Project Controls Apprentice

The Project Controls Apprentice is primarily responsible for developing a practical understanding of the business, project management and project controls in line with the course plan of their apprenticeship qualification. It is expected they will be completely new to an office environment and will therefore need to focus on standard office skills and behaviours alongside the more technical and industry specific knowledge. As they progress they will be able to undertake limited project controls activities as delegated by their Project Controls Manager under supervision and guidance from more senior Project Controls staff.
