Project Control Review

Project control activities cost monitoring managing stakeholders business development

Higher apprenticeship various training courses IT and PM skills

The programme itself can be disjointed. However i do enjoy the work and meeting new people on a daily basis

The pay systems are not particularly fair and i think to gain recognition either internal or external its more about who you know than your competence as an employee

Not very. The programme seems to change on a monthly basis which is surprising since it has been going for 7 or 8 years now

Tutors are there if you need them

Support is becoming less and less. I think you need to proactively seek the support out if you need it but it is there. I myself have never needed the support and i am the type of person who prefers to be powered by my own steam

It just about covers my living, travel and daily costs with a little bit spare for social but not a huge amount. this is due to the fact i rent a house on my own though. The salary i recieve is fairly competitive

if you seek them out yes

Yes

The salary is competitive and so are the perks (share option scheme, pension etc). I also feel it gives you a good foundation for your future career should you decide to move on

The application process has changed since i was taken on so there are lots of aspects i cannot comment on. I would recommend that the best way to get through the interview is to prepare well. The BAE Systems interviews are competency based and do not concentrate on personal characteristics of the candidate i.e. you cannot blag them with made up strengths and weaknesses etc
