Based at our Actuation World Headquarters in Wolverhampton, you'll be part of a team leading projects that span civil and military aviation, from sustainable technologies to advanced manufacturing innovation.

You'll be involved in every stage of the project lifecycle - from initial planning and scheduling through to delivery and continuous improvement - giving you exposure to both the technical and commercial side of project management.

This scheme is designed to accelerate your career in Project and Programme Management. Together we will develop you to become an expert in all aspects of project planning and execution, how to balance competing priorities and how to communicate effectively with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure we are meeting the needs of our diverse customer base. Being a part of our Project Management community, you'll be assigned a dedicated mentor to support and guide you, complementing your career development and fuelling your aspirations.

You will work collaboratively with engineers, operations teams, and customers to ensure projects are delivered on time, to budget, and to the highest standards of quality.

We recognise that your development is key for you to fulfil your potential in the world of work. That's why we've created a programme that will support your learning to deliver real business value.

• Principles of Project Management
• Leadership and Change Management
• Operations Management
• Strategic Management

By the end of the programme, having completed your rotations and degree apprenticeship, you will be awarded a BSc in Project Management.
