What qualification will you be studying towards?

Level 6 Degree Apprenticeship in Civil Engineering at a nominated University.

You will also work regularly and diligently towards the Incorporated Civil Engineer (IEng MICE) professional qualification, in accordance with your ICE Training Agreement within a suitable time as agreed with your Supervising Civil Engineer (SCE) and Line Manager.

What will we need from you?

3 A-levels at Grade C, including Maths and a Physical Science, BTEC National Diploma or equivalent level 3 qualification.
Passion for engineering solutions
5 GCSEs at Grades 5-9 including Maths, English and Science or their equivalent for us to successfully enrol you on the apprenticeship

Starting salary: £18K - £20K per year and annual salary reviews
We want you to do well and will support you to have a meaningful career beyond the apprenticeship

Where will you be working?

You will be based in Doncaster for the first year of the apprenticeship, however, you will be encouraged to visit our sites during this time.

From year two, you will start completing rotations in different locations (site and office based across the UK).

Rotations

These will range in duration from 1 month up to 9 months and you will receive additional allowances, on top of your basic salary, to assist with the cost of staying away from home or relocating.

The rotational nature of this programme will give you exposure to an exciting portfolio of piling projects as you experience all stages from tendering to delivery. This will make you a well-rounded engineer and help you in achieving your professional qualification whilst meeting lots of new people, exploring new cities, and seeing the range of challenges presented across the UK.
