As an apprentice in our project support team, you’ll help make sure our retail installation projects run smoothly and are properly reported. You’ll work closely with our Project Managers and play an important role in organising reports, tracking progress, and keeping our clients updated.
Your tasks will include:
Creating Reports: Use our Fieldflex reporting software to build installation reports based on client instructions. You may also help create new report templates when needed.
Scheduling Work: Assign work to our installers based on project schedules. Make sure the right daily reports are sent to the right installers through the software.
Checking Reports: Each day, review and check the previous night’s installation reports to make sure they match the client’s instructions. Highlight any issues and record them in our tracking system.
Client Updates: Send completed install reports to our brand clients. If work is done at night, send the report by midday the next day. If it’s a daytime job, send the report before the end of the same working day.
Fixing Issues: Spot any problems in the reports and take steps to fix them. Let the brand or manufacturer know if there are any issues with their products or instructions.
Safety Documents: learn to create Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) for projects. Also make sure store or shopping centre bookings are completed on time.
Travel Planning: Help organise travel and accommodation for installers and arrange payment for things like tolls or congestion charges.
Training:
Within the first 15 months additional training is delivered at Loughborough College, one morning a week for 12 weeks, dates are subject to enrolment date. (Online delivery with optional drop in sessions at College)
Online portfolio to update with learning and development completed onsite
Diarised visits from dedicated Trainer/Assessor
Training Outcome:Starting in this apprentice role is a great first step into the world of project management. You’ll gain valuable experience by supporting live retail installation projects and learning how to manage reporting, schedules and client communication.
As you grow in confidence and develop your skills, you'll begin to understand how projects are planned, how problems are solved quickly, and how teams work together to deliver work on time and to a high standard. You’ll work closely with experienced Project Managers, giving you the chance to learn directly from them and understand the full project lifecycle—from client briefing through to final delivery.
Over time, and with the right attitude and performance, this role can progress into a Junior Project Manager or Project Coordinator role. From there, you could eventually move into a full Project Manager position. This is a role where what you put in is what you get out. With dedication, problem-solving skills, and a positive attitude, you’ll build a strong foundation to grow into a leadership role in our projects team.Employer Description:Fieldflex is a leading retail installation company both locally and globally.
