The Company
Established in 1998, JSM Group designs and installs the power networks, digital infrastructure and specialist systems that critical industries run on, from high-power grid connections and data centres to renewable energy. Our turnkey teams deliver complex infrastructure at speed, on time, and with reduced legislative, technical and commercial risk.
This is a great first step into a career in IT. As an IT Apprentice, you'll be the friendly first point of contact for colleagues across JSM, helping keep our laptops, software, networks and phones running so everyone can do their job. You'll learn on the job alongside our IT team while working towards your Level 3 qualification – no previous IT work experience needed, just enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.
This role is the first step on a longer pathway. On successful completion of your Level 3, our plan is for you to progress onto a Level 4 Network Engineer apprenticeship, deepening your networking expertise and taking on more responsibility as you grow with us.
What You'll Be Doing
- Provide first-line IT support to colleagues in person, by phone, email and our ticketing system – logging, prioritising and tracking requests.
- Diagnose and fix routine hardware, software and connectivity problems, and escalate anything more complex.
- Set up, configure and hand over laptops, desktops, mobiles, printers and other equipment for new starters and projects.
- Help manage user accounts, access and password resets under supervision, following our security policies.
- Support our networks, Wi-Fi and cabling across offices and sites, and help roll out upgrades and new systems.
- Keep the IT asset register and support documentation accurate and up to date.
- Apply data-security and acceptable-use policies, helping keep JSM's systems safe and compliant.
- Work safely at all times and follow health & safety appropriate to the task, including when working on different sites.
- Complete your apprenticeship coursework and build your technical knowledge with our support.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
