Gain highly transferable skills whilst obtaining real work experience

Our Engineering Design, Engineering Delivery and Highway teams in the Highways, Engineering and Transport Group is looking for three Trainee Technicians.

This is a great opportunity to undertake a Level 3 Civil Engineer Technician apprenticeship, which will provide you with a highly transferable set of knowledge, skills and behaviours whilst gaining real work experience. You will attend Fareham College CETC campus (which we understand will come under the banner of South Hampshire College Group from 1st August 2023) for a one day a week where you will develop your knowledge in areas such as digital techniques, site investigations, project programming, environmental policies, budgets, design, maintenance, and sustainability. Please follow the link to find out all about our Apprenticeships.

After studying and working towards a Level 3 qualification there are many options available for further development. Previous apprentices have gone on to complete a Level 4 HND or a Level 6 Civil Engineering degree supported by the council and the continuous development we offer. Staff are also supported to gain professional accreditations such as Engineer Technician, Incorporated Engineer or Chartered Engineer status. Whichever route you choose to take, you will be supported throughout by colleagues who have followed the same path.

As a Trainee Technician, you will learn from Technicians and Engineers, and dependant on your motivations and experience, you will work in either the Engineering Design or Delivery teams producing highway designs utilising 3D design software, or overseeing their construction on site, or working in the Highway team undertaking inspections, repairs, and emergencies. You will need good planning, organisation, and communication skills and will have a willingness to learn and broaden your skills in areas of sustainable construction, materials, asset management and highway engineering.

We would love if you are an enthusiastic and motivated self-starter with a positive attitude.

What we can offer you:

We offer a flexible, motivating and inclusive workplace, where talent is truly recognised and developed. We have created an environment that you can look forward to being a part of and where you are empowered to be your best and believe in creating a workplace built on teamwork where people can grow and develop in their roles.
