Associate Design Draftsperson Apprentice

You are responsible for design, planning, and drawing work on all BT Tower and radio sites. These are vital connections to ensure our rigging engineers have the right detail and information to be able to install both BT and customer equipment across BT’s estate as well as clear structural faults. 

You’ll work to tight schedules, delivering our customer design works to forecast completion times in line with Service and Working Agreements. You’ll prioritise to help Engineering Services and other areas of the business meet and manage expectations. 

As a radio structures design office apprentice, you’ll learn about;

•    Maintenance of the radio station record system.
•    Structural integrity of radio structures.
•    Safety audit of our radio structures, including climbing and surveying them.
•    Steelwork design drawings and national design office support for BT Technology and our customers.
•    Radio structures planning permission drawings for local authorities.

This is a field role with travel across the UK.

Don’t worry if this is all new. You’re not expected to join us with any prior experience in this. We’ll teach you everything you need to know.

Training:
You will undertake an Engineering Design Technician Level 3 apprenticeship.   This will be with T3 (Training Provider).

Training schedule has yet to be agreed. An apprenticeship includes regular training with a college or other training organisation. At least 20% of your working hours will be spent training or studying. Details will be made available at a later date. 

Training Outcome:
The UK Radio Structures Design Office is a brilliant part of BT; it’s a mixture of internal and external customer work and is very rewarding.   As well as on-the-job training, you’ll be put through a structured learning programme where you will gain a BTEC diploma as well as an NVQ qualification. As you gain the technical knowledge and competence required, opportunities to progress into our structural specialist team through succession may be something available over time.

It might be a bit daunting at first, but don’t worry – we’ll give you plenty of training to help with the techniques and build your confidence.
