Job Details

Do you want to be a key part in keeping our business running?  Would you like to study, learn and work towards a professional qualification? Join us on our DevOps Apprentice Scheme and you can do both! 

 

 

 

At Virgin Media, we think of data as our lifeblood, and the CIO Data Management team are responsible for pumping that blood around our business. As a Cloud DevOps Engineer Apprentice, you’ll be on the ground, learning with lots of support from internal senior employees who will ensure you take as much away as possible from the scheme.  

 

 

 

Build skills for the future 

 

Working with the team, you will be responsible for bringing data from operational systems together, modelling it and putting it into different systems where the wider business can use it to report on progress and even becoming the starting point for future solutions. Other responsibilities you will take on could include: 

 

Analysing datasets to understand the relationship between them and how they can be used in reports 

 

Aiding in the build of monitoring tools and dashboards to track infrastructure and application performance  

 

Collaborating with wider teams to improve the integration and release process 

 

Develop, maintain and optimise our CI/CD pipelines using industry standard technologies 

 

 

 

What we look for 

 

We work with data day in, day out so you need to become comfortable with numbers. Often, we come up against problems that need to be resolved quickly so if you enjoy solving problems, this could be the role for you. Other qualities that will help candidates succeed in this role include: 

 

Eagerness to learn 

 

Passion for technology 

 

Confident in challenging the norm 

 

Some data analysis experience is preferred but not essential 

 

 

 

We’re 100% committed to having a workforce that represents every part of our society, so we’re keen to hear from candidates of all backgrounds and circumstances. The only barrier to applying would be if you didn’t have the right to work in the UK and were unable to obtain it without our support.  

 

 

 

What’s in it for you 

 

A level 4 DevOps Engineer qualification and hands-on experience. Throughout the apprenticeship, you could also find yourself progressing through several Google Certifications to further your knowledge of DevOps. As well as all the skills and experience you’ll pick up, we’ll give you access to our amazing benefits, such as: 

 

25 days holiday 

 

Your birthday off every year 

 

Employee discounts on mobile, broadband and TV services 

 

...and loads more! 

 

 

 

What is involved with studying for an apprenticeship?  

 

Your apprenticeship is made up of learning on the job, but also gaining the academic skills to put into practice in your day-to-day job.  As a result, you'll complete the apprenticeship as part of a structured learning programme alongside working in the role. The learning programme is made up of a suite of modules and milestones and you’ll be required to evidence your work against these modules via tasks and assignments. For some apprenticeships, you may also undertake additional technical qualifications, which include studying for, and taking an exam. Once you have completed your modules and milestones, you’ll then move to your End Point Assessment (EPA) which is typically made up of an interview and a project. Once you pass this stage, you will receive your apprenticeship qualification with us.
