You will build strong team and client relationships, support growth, innovation, and continuous service improvement.

You can attend the office daily if you wish. You will need to be based within a commutable distance of our Glasgow office and may be asked to work on client site for part of the week depending on the client.

Regardless of specialism you will engage with leading‑edge cloud and AI technologies, have ongoing access to world‑class industry training and certifications, and be actively encouraged to pursue industry‑standard qualifications to support your professional growth—all while consistently maintaining high delivery standards and best practices.

The degree apprenticeship with Glasgow Caledonian University is a 4‑year course in which you will study part‑time (day release) alongside your full‑time role. You will cover many modules such as Computer System Fundamentals, Object Orientated Analysis & Design, Information Security and Dev Ops.

During your first week, you will meet inspiring individuals, witness our team dynamics, and explore the stimulating projects that will influence your career. We are committed to supporting all our apprentices in developing their personal brand and exploring innovative thinking methods that will drive the solutions we deliver to our clients.

Join us as an apprentice and you’ll have a permanent paid role with opportunities to increase your pay year‑on‑year alongside studying for a degree.
