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
In their daily work, employees interact with the assigned crew of TTM operatives, with other LTMOs, and under the supervision of the foreperson, technical supervisor, or site manager, to enable the coordination, delivery, recording and reporting of TTM works on all scales of projects or programmes on behalf of their employer. In the case of emergencies, LTMOs work with first responders and the emergency services, and will also interact with members of the general public.
