Data Technician Apprentice

Are you highly organised, detail-oriented and looking to build a career in business administration, systems support, data management, or project coordination?

We're looking for a Systems & Projects Administrator Apprentice, as you’ll be known internally, to join our dynamic Systems & Projects Team. This is an exciting opportunity to gain hands-on experience across multiple business functions, including Supply Chain, Repairs & Maintenance, Asset Management, IT, and Transport, while working towards a recognised qualification.

You’ll play a vital role in supporting business-critical systems, maintaining accurate data, coordinating projects, and helping teams work efficiently across the organisation. No two days are the same, making this the perfect role for someone who enjoys variety, problem solving, and working with people.

As a Systems & Projects Administrator Apprentice, you’ll support a wide range of operational and commercial activities, including:

• Supporting monthly material audits to ensure data accuracy, compliance and timely completion.
• Maintaining sign-off trackers and escalating issues when required.
• Assisting with data management, reporting and system updates across the business.
• Maintaining databases and supporting the development of reports for stakeholders.
• Supporting the Systems & Projects Team with the collection and analysis of project information.
• Assisting with the maintenance of commercial project trackers and monitoring project progress.

• Organising meetings, booking venues and work spaces, preparing agendas and taking minutes.
• Managing electronic filing systems and document distribution.
• Providing administrative and secretarial support to senior managers and wider teams.
• Responding professionally to enquiries from colleagues, customers and suppliers.

This is a hybrid role which will enable you to work from home if you wish. The team do come together quite frequently to work together so being happy to travel within our operating region is important.

Our operating region includes Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somerset and Dorset.

We’re keen to hear from motivated individuals who are eager to learn and develop their skills. This won’t be your first job, as you’ll be bringing with you skills that you gained within employment. You are likely to have at least 12 months experience in an administrative/coordination role.
