Our apprenticeships
Are you looking to kick-start your career in construction? Do you enjoy working outdoors and being hands-on? Join our team as a Groundworker Apprentice and build the foundations for a successful career in the industry!
BAM is a trusted name in construction, delivering high-quality infrastructure projects. From foundations to drainage, we take pride in creating the groundwork for success.
A BAM apprenticeship is a full-time earn and learn position, where you will be involved in delivering multi-million-pound projects. Leave a lasting legacy and positive change in our communities.
On completion of a Level 2 apprenticeship, you will have the opportunity to progress onto further learning and leadership training to work towards becoming a Works Manager of the future.
What you\'ll be doing
As a Groundworker Apprentice, you’ll learn essential skills to support construction projects, including:
- Preparing and levelling construction sites.
- Laying foundations, drainage systems, and concrete.
- Operating and maintaining tools and equipment.
- Following health and safety protocols on-site.
- Working as part of a team to complete a variety of groundwork tasks.
You’ll gain hands-on experience while working towards a Level 2 Groundworker Apprenticeship with the support of experienced mentors and on-the-job training. You will work across multiple pumping station projects in Norfolk.
What you\'ll need
Academic requirements

- To be eligible for this apprenticeship, you must not already hold a similar qualification of the same level.
Additional requirements
- A driving licence would be desirable or the ability to learn and have access to a vehicle during the apprenticeship, as many projects are in locations not accessible via public transport.
