Job description

An excellent opportunity to grow a career fast

We are seeking a full-time software engineer apprentice to develop new automations and systems at the company. The work will be centred around working with management to streamline our technical staff who specialise in designing the structures of residential projects.

The role

You will be responsible for creating automations and developing our systems under the direction of both technical and non-technical staff. The challenge of the job will come from understanding real-world problems and translating them into efficient code and process flows using the Microsoft Power Platform and the Office 365 Business package, including SharePoint.

The role also includes helping to maintain our existing hardware and software, mainly using Microsoft Intune.

The role will evolve quickly as you become more experienced and knowledgeable through the university course. The following will always remain at the core of the role:

• Investigate new technologies and their suitability to us.
• Create technical specifications which can be understood by non-technical people.
• Develop existing systems by analysing and identifying areas for modification.
• Write and test code, refining and rewriting, rollout and storing.
• Maintain systems by monitoring and correcting software defects.
• Continually update your technical knowledge and skills.

You will be working in an office environment and so good communication skills are key as you will collaborate frequently with many members of staff.

A typical day

9 am – 11 am: Review the performance of a part of the IT infrastructure, tweak existing code based on feedback from users and error logs.

11 am – 12 pm: Have a meeting with a senior member of staff to discuss the roadblocks you are facing with the development of the next software rollout.

12 pm – 1 pm: Prepare designs for software coding using flow diagrams and researching alternative options.

2 pm – 4 pm: Write code for projects you are working on.

4 pm – 5 pm: Testing and rolling out new pieces of code ensuring feedback loops are present.

5 pm – 5.30 pm: Housekeeping, liaising with other staff and reporting on your day’s progress.

Minimum Requirements

• You must have 120 UCAS points in A levels (or equivalent) with maths included as a subject.
• No prior work experience is required.
• You must not have any degree or other higher education qualifications.
• You will demonstrate a passion for the industry and will be up to date with current trends in the field.
• You must have full eligibility to work in the UK.
