Apprentice in Project Management

1 month ago


Hanslope Park, United Kingdom FCDO Services Full time

There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of seeing the results of a project you’ve been at the heart of. Particularly when the results keep people, information and assets safe. And every project you work on with FCDO Services will feel rewarding. What will that look like? Well, the work you do will be high-profile, of national importance and require the highest level of security as you help deliver work that supports UK diplomacy at home and overseas. You could be rolling out new secure Wi-Fi in government buildings across the globe, supporting the delivery of secure technology to the world’s most isolated areas, or you may manage a project undertaking renovation works and coordinating repairs to flood-damaged embassies on remote islands. All round, it makes an inspiring backdrop to a career in project management.

Whether you’re a school-leaver, returning to work after a career break or just looking for a career change, become an Apprentice in Project Management with us, and you’ll get varied, hands-on experience you won’t find anywhere else. You’ll learn from established project managers (PMs) who’ll empower you to succeed and you’ll study towards either a BA or BSc (Hons) degree in Project Management, all while enjoying the benefits that come with working in the Civil Service. During your programme, you’ll also work towards an International Project Management Association (IPMA) Level D qualification or equivalent and achieve an APM Fundamentals and APM (PMQ) Project Management Qualification. One thing’s for sure, your future will get a whole lot bigger.

Let’s introduce ourselves

So what will you do?

After an intensive induction, you’ll dive straight in, splitting your time 80/20 between working on live projects and university work, with time built in for your studies. Working alongside an experienced team, your time at work will be spent immersed in real projects, building up the knowledge that will equip you with everything you need to deliver a world-class service that helps protect the UK.

You’ll spend your first year working in different areas of the business, including cost engineering, logistics and our customer contact centre, so you get a broad appreciation of what it takes to put complex projects together from all angles. Mentored by senior PMs ¬- and many other functions that assist in project delivery - you’ll be working on live projects for our customers, both in the UK and overseas, throughout your programme. This means you can put what you learn at college into practice as you support in everything from creating and monitoring project plans to delivering governance documentation, forecasting project budgets and reviewing health and safety documentation.

This programme gives you the opportunity to build and develop your skills in all areas of project management, from resource and financial control to effective risk, budget and contract management. And as you develop, you’ll get the chance to oversee small projects of your own, from coordinating the deployment of resources overseas to conduct feasibility studies to managing overseas builds ensuring our on-site teams have the resources they need. Towards the end of your programme, you’ll also have the opportunity to travel overseas and see some of the projects in action.

It’s challenging, vital work. But you’ll get the support you need to tackle it all, including juggling multiple activities and ensuring tasks are completed accurately, even with tight deadlines and budgetary constraints. In everything you do, your ideas will be encouraged, and your contribution greatly valued.

This is hands-on training at its best, learning all aspects of what it takes to manage and deliver complex, global projects that help keep our government customers and information safe. Over the four years, you’ll be part of an inclusive, welcoming team doing practical work that will support the success of your studies. And once you’ve completed the programme, you’ll gain a professional qualification that will be recognised anywhere in the world.
