Project Controls Apprenticeship

Leonardo offers a range of Apprenticeships from 2–4 years across a variety of STEM and business routes, offering paid training, coupled with on-the-job learning that enables you to gain practical skills, experience and knowledge that sets up the best start to your career.

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

What you’ll do as a Project Controls Apprentice:

• Project Controls is a fundamental discipline to the safe and stable execution of projects and achieving business growth. With a focus on scheduling, planning, risk management, resource management, performance metrics and change management
• Project Controls provides a unique insight into the execution monitoring and control of Projects and is at the heart of successful delivery performance. A role in Project Controls provides the opportunity to develop and deliver a fundamental understanding of business performance and be an integral part of an Integrated Project Team to secure and deliver successful projects

The Leonardo Project Controls Apprenticeship is structured around a programme of placements that will see you move around the business within the Project Controls Function (at Luton and Lincoln) over a 3.5 year period and is designed to give you as much experience and exposure to Project Controls practices and different operational contexts as possible. This will help you develop strong core skills of Project Controls whilst also giving you a wider understanding of how a global business operates.

You will also undertake a Level 3 Project Controls Technician qualification over this time to compliment on-the-job learning alongside internal training to understand and utilise globally recognised tool sets and standards in Project Controls.

During your apprenticeship, you will:

• Grow your knowledge of an engineering business and what the role of a Project Controller means by being part of our Functional and Integrated Project Teams
• Develop and utilise key skills in Project Controls, understanding key processes, tool sets and methodologies
• Support early careers activities – our apprentices have the opportunity to work as STEM ambassadors in schools, colleges and universities
