The Project Controls Apprentice is primarily responsible for developing a practical understanding of the business, project management and project controls in line with the course plan of their apprenticeship qualification. It is expected they will be completely new to an office environment and will therefore need to focus on standard office skills and behaviours alongside the more technical and industry specific knowledge.
