As an Office Coordinator Administration Apprentice, this apprenticeship will put you at the centre of a busy project office, where you will support teams, visitors and consultants while building strong business administration skills in a fast-paced, professional environment.
About The Employer
Gilbert-Ash delivers award-winning construction projects across the UK and beyond, but what really sets them apart is how they work. They think creatively, work collaboratively, and care deeply about the impact their projects have on people, communities and the environment. From the safety and wellbeing of their teams to the places they help create, Gilbert-Ash is about doing things properly, not just getting the job done.
About The Role

You will be supported throughout your apprenticeship by SWAC, your host team at Gilbert-Ash, and your specialist training provider Weston College.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
