Apprenticeship Level 4 - Civil Engineering/BIM - Energy - Glasgow (6074)

Our Level 4 Advanced Apprenticeships provide the opportunity to study for industry-recognised qualifications while earning a competitive salary. As an apprentice, you will study with a training provider, such as a college, and combine this with real responsibilities in the workplace. Your study pattern could be day or block release, or via distance learning, depending on the course you enrol on. A dedicated mentor will guide you through your personal and professional development. Level 4 Advanced Apprenticeships have a typical duration of two to three years, during which you will attain both a professional and academic qualification to further your career. Our apprentices are employed on a permanent basis, so you'll continue to progress with Arup once you've completed your course.

We're looking for Apprentice Technicians to join our teams in Glasgow. From your first day you'll join a community of professionals, where everyone is supported in their career path and encouraged to work towards an accredited qualification. You'll support a team including engineers and other professionals to assess, design and supervise civil engineering works. You'll work on a wide range of projects – from dams to roads, drainage, and earthworks. Projects and designs will come in all shapes and sizes, and could involve hydro power, onshore transmission projects, university campus, highways and more. You'll help us to deliver effective and professional services for a range of varied and high-profile clients such as SSE, Scottish Power, Sellafield and many others. As part of your apprenticeship, you'll study towards a Level 4 qualification in Civil Engineering with one of our local partner colleges. While you'll have a degree of responsibility from day one, we'll give you the opportunity to take on more responsibility as you progress and broaden your skills.
