V03246 - Degree Apprentice Project Controls (Project Management)

The Project Controls Degree Apprenticeship is a 5 year scheme that will expose you to different areas in the business across three world-class programmes, offering real life project controls experience that facilitates your learning and development. 

As a Project Controls apprentice you will work towards ensuring that our submarine programmes deliver successfully and safely to time, cost and quality: by critically analysing, interpreting and evaluating technical information to develop coding structures, cost and time objectives, robust recommendations and recovery plans for the project, programme or portfolio manager.  

Projects don't come more challenging, pioneering, and critical than ours. Controlling key aspects of a project is a critical element of how we project manage our business and projects. 

Our Project Controls apprentices are offered placements that enable you to be fully immersed in roles across our Project Controls community to gain a significant understanding and application of project controls and building your knowledge and skills in aspects such as:

• Risk – Developing an understanding of the principles of risk management, including the considerations needed for mitigating risk, considering project risks and opportunities when integrating into cost and planning processes, undertaking quantitative and qualitative analysis of risk and leading risk reviews

• Estimating – Developing an understanding of the estimation process, preparing estimating frameworks and using this information to estimate project needs and requirements, as well as using an evidence-based approach to estimating for estimate assurance, cost and risk analysis, uncertainties and contingencies

• Planning and Scheduling – Developing an understanding of planning and scheduling techniques, preparing and scheduling frameworks to enable recommendations on milestones and engineering schedules to be made, as well as using an evidence-based approach to create credible, achievable control schedules, including assurance, risk analysis, assumptions and probabilities

• Data Modelling and Forecasting – Developing an understanding of both modelling and statistical analysis techniques in order to identify variations from the baseline, whilst assessing their impacts on the project and making informed recommendations to the influence the project
