Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
This is a junior, hands-on role for someone who loves sport, enjoys being out and about, and wants to learn how live events really work.
You’ll be part of a small, close-knit team, supporting race events from preparation through to delivery and post-event follow-up. No two weeks are the same – some days you’ll be on-site at events, other days you’ll be preparing equipment, supporting clients, or helping behind the scenes.
If you’re looking for a desk-only job, this won’t be the right fit. If you like early starts, teamwork, problem-solving, and being part of something live and energetic – you’ll love it.
You don’t need lots of experience. We’re looking for attitude, reliability, and willingness to learn.
What You’ll Be Doing
Event Timing & Race-Day Support
- Supporting the delivery of chip timing services at live events
- Setting up and packing away timing equipment at race starts and finishes
- Assisting with live results and helping resolve timing queries
- Liaising with Race Directors and supporting them on event day
- Responding to participant and client questions professionally
- Learning how to spot and prevent timing issues before they impact the race
Client & Event Support
- Building positive working relationships with event organisers
- Helping confirm event details and arrangements ahead of race day
- Providing friendly, clear communication before and after events
Behind the Scenes
- Preparing, packing, checking, and returning timing equipment
- Testing and maintaining timing hardware and software
- Helping prepare race timing packs and participant materials
- Admin & Logistics
- Supporting event scheduling and staff allocation
- Helping book travel, accommodation, and transport for events
