About your role

This role is designed for a motivated individual who wants to launch a career in Project Management. Instead of looking for past office experience, we are looking for curiosity, problem-solving potential, and a drive to learn. You will train towards a nationally recognised qualification while supporting our team with client projects, team activities and business operation opportunities.

You will be working in Magellan Transport & Mobility, with a focus on the delivery of our services and projects to Network Rail and Rail Delivery Group, both of which will be merged into Great British Railways in 2027. This entry-level role is perfect if you want to build a career in Project Management. You will work alongside our experienced Programme and Project Managers to learn how we plan, run, and control our technology and consulting projects from start to finish. You will help keep our project plans updated, assist in tracking project spend, learn how to organise team schedules, and gain hands-on experience in how a fast-paced business operates.

What you will be doing (core responsibilities)

• Project planning: shadow Project Managers to learn how we build and maintain project plans, helping to track key milestones and update task timelines.

• Tracking progress & risks: learn how to use project tracking systems to maintain our RAID registers (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) and check that team tasks are moving forward on time.

• Team coordination: help organise and schedule project team meetings, prepare agendas, and take clear, professional action items and notes to distribute afterward.

• Financial tracking: assist in tracking actual project spend against our budgets, learning how we manage project costs, WBS codes, timesheets, and resource plans.

• Status reporting: help pull together weekly or monthly status updates and dashboards to share delivery progress with our management team and clients.

What we are looking for

• Experience: none required! If you have experience in administration, event planning, hospitality, retail, or any role requiring strong organisation and multitasking, those skills are highly transferable.

• Skills: highly organised with great attention to detail. Basic familiarity with using a computer (Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and writing clear emails).

• Attitude: a proactive, "can-do" mindset. You enjoy organising files and schedules, like helping teams stay coordinated, and are eager to learn how professional projects are delivered.

What you will learn and do

• Grow your communication skills: learn how to handle internal and external enquiries via email, phone, and in-person with guidance from mentors.

• Develop capabilities: support the team in scheduling meetings, managing records, and updating project/team documents.

• Engage in continuous learning: dedicate 20% of your working hours to structured training, assignments, and skills development with your training provider.

• Solve problems: take on tasks that grow in complexity as your confidence and capability increase throughout the apprenticeship.

What you will bring to the role

• Growth mindset: an enthusiasm for learning new concepts and a willingness to act on constructive feedback.

• Collaboration: a positive team player who listens well and supports colleagues.

• Problem-solving attitude: enjoys figuring things out and asking questions when stuck, rather than waiting for instructions.

• Curious mindset: willingness to share new ideas
