Our Apprenticeship Academy

Whether you're making your first transition into employment or changing careers and would like the opportunity to gain further qualifications without following the traditional educational route, an apprenticeship with us could be just the ticket to help you achieve your career goals and aspirations.

We firmly believe that everybody deserves opportunities to access apprenticeships and our aim is moving towards a diverse organisation at all levels. We want to be fully representative of our diverse communities across Wales.

The Role

The Project Management (Entry into Service) Apprentice will assist the Entry into Service (EiS) process and contribute to supporting a varied portfolio of work, taking TfW infrastructure projects through development to successful safe delivery.

Role responsibilities

• You'll gain on the job experience by shadowing and supporting the Senior Project Manager (Entry into Service), Senior System Safety Engineer, and Programme Manager (Entry into Service) to ensure the development and delivery of TfW infrastructure projects.

• You'll support the technical assurance of the Entry into Service Strategy and Entry into Service Checklist, by scheduling tasks and key deliverables, to ensure these are delivered safely to time, cost, and quality.

• You'll support TfW infrastructure projects by taking part in Entry into Service Checklist reviews, to support the identification and assurance of Entry into Service requirements.

• You'll support with the collection of updates, reports, and performance data by engaging with our delivery partners and stakeholders in order for the project delivery team to report periodically.

Who we're looking for

• Basic understanding of Microsoft (MS) Office packages.

• Ability to apply creativity to problem solving.

• Desire to work in an infrastructure project environment.

• An ability to prioritise and work to set deadlines.

• Experience working as part of a team to achieve objectives.

• Pass the testing within the initial application process. This testing is used to uncover alignment to our values, behaviour and core apprentice attributes, all of which can be found above.

• You'll need to be available to start the Apprenticeship Scheme in early September 2026.

* Please include all your relevant qualifications as listed in the essential and desirable criteria for the role. We won't be able to consider your application otherwise.

Is it right for me?

To help you decide, have a think if these apply to you.

• Most of our apprenticeships are open to anyone over the age of 16 and there's no upper age limit. Please note that for safety critical roles the minimum age will be higher.

• You must not have already achieved a similar or higher-level qualification in the apprenticeship role you have applied for. For example, if you have a degree in Engineering, you will not be eligible to apply for an Engineering apprenticeship. However, you could apply for another apprenticeship in a different profession, such as Finance.

• You will not be eligible for an apprenticeship if you are enrolled in/studying towards another qualification, as the apprenticeship is a full-time role with study commitments.

Welsh Language Skills

While not essential for this role, Welsh language skills would make a great addition to your application.

TfW support anyone who wants to learn Welsh or improve their skills. We offer online learning, classroom courses and funding attendance at local community courses.
