Civil and Infrastructure Engineering BEng (Hons) Degree Apprenticeship

What will the apprentice be doing?

Our apprenticeship programme is well established and is designed to give you maximum exposure to different experiences. You'll get to share your thinking, test your ideas, and start focusing on the work you enjoy most whilst supporting the technical aspects of multidisciplinary design projects.

You'll be making a sustainable difference in people's lives, shaping cities, reimagining transport and transforming nuclear energy. And with the choice to work across Cities and Development, Nuclear and Power, Transportation, Water or Environment, you'll decide where you want your career to go.

Here's what your role as an apprentice would involve:

• Developing your skills in a wide range of exciting projects
• Learning about project lifecycles which in turn will allow you to support your team
• Learning and using relevant design software
• Being involved in client meetings and assisting in building key client relationships
• You'll get to understand and learn digital skills to help us harness technology in new ways

What training will the apprentice take and what qualification will the apprentice get at the end?

The programme provides a strong platform for pursuing and achieving a varied and interesting career in Civil Engineering, and incorporates recent developments in industry and education as well as the curriculum and teaching principles from research and academia.

Three work-based learning modules, supported by your employer, will combine your own civil engineering interests and learning with those of your employer. The programme leads to the award of a BEng (Hons) Civil and Infrastructure Engineering (Degree Apprenticeship) and a professional qualification through End-Point Assessment (EPA).

What is the expected career progression after this apprenticeship?

This is a Level 6 Apprenticeship. On completion the apprentice will have fully satisfied the requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer by the relevant professional engineering institution.

Qualifications:

Successful apprentices will gain a BSc or BEng civil engineering degree which is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators.
