You will receive full on the job training by your dedicated mentor. Your apprenticeship will be supported by an external service provider at college or in a classroom environment.

The qualification you will undertake will be a Level 4 Civil Engineering Senior Technician apprenticeship.

What is the expected career progression after this apprenticeship?

Once you complete your apprenticeship, you will be considered for further training. This will be discussed with both your mentor and our Learning and Development team.
