Job Description
This role is based at Culham, Oxfordshire.
The scheme requires employees to complete an online Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS), including The Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) checks for criminal convictions.
Through UKAEA’s Apprenticeship Scheme, you will build the technical expertise, practical experience, and wider professional skills required for both your current role and future career progression. This is achieved through a combination of formal off‑the‑job learning and on‑the‑job training within a real working environment.
The Role
As Project Management Degree Apprentice, you will work closely with Project Managers and Planners to support and co‑ordinate a range of projects, helping to ensure key procedures are followed and essential project documentation is maintained. You’ll contribute to keeping projects on track across budget, schedule, and quality standards, moving between different project teams as required. Alongside structured training and development, you’ll gain hands‑on experience with UKAEA’s project management systems and processes — including taking ownership of project plans — before progressing to larger and more complex projects.
The length of this apprenticeship is 60 months.
Additional Responsibilities:
* Successfully complete the nationally recognised qualification specified within the apprenticeship standard: Project manager (integrated degree) / Skills England
* Attend the designated training provider and develop a strong understanding of the technical knowledge and skills required for the role.
* Act as an ambassador for UKAEA by representing the organisation at external outreach, engagement, and careers events.
Qualifications
* A minimum 3 ‘A’ Levels at Grades A* to C
* A minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade A–C (9–4), including Maths and English.
* Additional or higher‑level qualifications may be required by the training provider, depending on the apprenticeship level and the applicant’s prior qualifications and experience.
* Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with others.
* Demonstrated interest in, and aptitude for, the chosen area of work.
