Course Summary:
Apprenticeships are work-based training programmes designed around the need of both the Apprentice and their employer.
The role is to produce detailed solutions to achieve the optimum performance of built environment projects via digital models and presentations using software, sketches and electronic visualisations. The apprentices will typically support Digital Engineers or other functional specialists in completing complex tasks using digital engineering techniques, specifically:
- Virtualisation and simulation of design, construction and management of assets
- Digital measurement of design, production and management of assets
- Communication of complex engineering principles to stakeholders digitally
- Integration of construction data and information throughout the whole life cycle of the asset
- Adherence to the standards and regulation of digital information
