Role Summary:

We are looking for an apprentice to support the integration of digital solutions to support our construction training business. Construction is one of the poorest sectors in terms of digital technology, second only to hunting and fishing. We hope that with the support of an intelligent and forward-thinking digital support technician we can introduce new technologies to reduce manual input and allow our team to focus on the safety critical training.

Job Description & Responsibilities:

The Digital Support Technician we’re looking for will be responsible for providing technical assistance in the management and troubleshooting of digital systems, including hardware, software, and network-related issues. Handle user inquiries, resolve technical problems, install and update software, and maintain system performance. Their role also involves ensuring data security, performing regular backups, and supporting cybersecurity measures. Technicians may also assist in setting up new devices, training users on digital tools, and ensuring compliance with IT protocols. Strong communication skills, technical proficiency, and problem-solving abilities are key to this role.

Digital technology can significantly enhance learning in a construction environment by providing interactive tools and resources. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) allow workers to practice skills and navigate construction sites safely before engaging in real-life tasks. Learning management systems (LMS) offer access to online courses, ensuring continuous professional development. Digital collaboration tools enable team communication, sharing of project data, and real-time problem-solving. Additionally, building information modeling (BIM) helps learners visualize complex construction projects, enhancing understanding and reducing errors.

Digitization can improve business efficiency by automating routine tasks, reducing errors, and speeding up processes. Tools like cloud storage enable seamless data access and collaboration, while project management software helps track progress and deadlines. Digital communication platforms enhance team coordination. Additionally, data analytics offer insights for better decision-making and forecasting. Overall, digitization streamlines operations, increases productivity, and reduces operational costs.
