“To be delivering projects for Hinkley Point C, the biggest construction project in Europe, is something I didn’t expect to be doing at the age of 18!” – Isabella, Assistant Project Manager, formerly a Business Apprentice

The Opportunity

You’ll study at University Centre Somerset (UCS) in Bridgwater one day a month, with additional remote learning. Alongside this, you’ll have access to our on-site Apprentice Hub and digital resources, plus support from tutors, your line manager, and our Early Careers team. All while contributing to the journey towards An Electric Britain.

Your Work Location

You’ll be based at Aztec West, Bristol, so you’ll need to live within commuting distance. You’ll also attend UCS in Bridgwater for monthly study days and benefit from flexible working arrangements where possible.

• Hands-on involvement in major projects like Hinkley Point C

• Five GCSEs in the A* to C or 9 to 4 range, including English and Maths, or a relevant Level 2 qualification

You’ll be self-motivated, eager to learn, and able to balance study with work. You’ll also bring strong teamwork skills and the ability to work independently when needed.

Security Vetting

To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which will, ordinarily, require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the past five years.

Pay, Benefits and Culture
