Apprentice Construction Site Supervisor

Apprentice Construction Site Supervisor

Application Deadline: 16 March 2025

Department: Early Careers

Employment Type: Permanent – Full Time

Location: Daviot Quarry & Asphalt Plant, Inverness

Compensation: £23,795 / year

Description

Are you interested in the built environment? Do you enjoy working outdoors? Are you often curious about how things are made and why things work? At Breedon we are very ambitious, and you’ll be instrumental in helping us to build a bright and sustainable future by assisting our Surfacing Manager to provide a safe and efficient delivery of surfacing projects, including traffic management, minor civils, planning and lining.

Breedon is a home for inquisitive learners. Quarries, cement, and construction are no longer old-fashioned sectors. We’re providing the foundation for our lives, building the places where we live and work, play and in-between.

Interested in…?

• Being paid to go to college; earn as you learn, without having to ‘work the time back’.
• Achieving a Level 6 SVQ Construction Technical Support (Site Technical Pathway) and an NC in Civil Engineering.
• Full company funding of any fees for qualifications and training.
• No need to buy your own kit or any work equipment; it’s all on us.
• A competitive salary significantly higher than the national minimum wage for apprentices.
• Support from a community of apprentices; a collaborative and comprehensive induction.
• A huge variety of potential career progression pathways at a stable, thriving business.

As a Construction Site Supervisor Apprentice, within the Surfacing Solutions business you’ll be involved in all aspects from operational, commercial and administration. You will undertake theoretical and practical training to develop the knowledge, skills and experience required to ensure you have a thorough understanding of all areas. You will attend UHI Inverness on a block basis – (3 times a year for 3 weeks). If this needs to be residential, then Breedon will cover the costs.

If you’re one to tiptoe around puddles with trepidation, maybe this role isn’t for you. You won’t be spending every day in a clean, corporate office swivelling on an office chair! Time will be spent working within all operational departments.

Do you offer…?

• A minimum of National 5 level qualifications which must include a minimum of grade C in Maths and English. It would be an advantage to have higher level qualifications in a related topic.
• A full UK Driving Licence – during your apprenticeship with us, we want you to experience and see everything we have to offer so you will need to be flexible to travel to other sites.
• A genuine interest in the construction materials industry – we’d love to hear about why you chose us and what interests you about this role!
• You will need to be a minimum age of 18 (by December 2025).

In joining us, you won’t be thrown in the deep end or treated like just a number; you’ll work in a close-knit team, with someone always on hand to offer help.

Why Breedon…?

Here’s what one of our existing employees want to tell you…

Lydia, a second-year Apprentice Maintenance Technician based in Hope, Derbyshire:

“From a young age, I helped on my friend’s farm; I’ve always liked practical stuff and being hands-on! I decided to apply to Breedon seeing the opportunities that could be presented to me in the future. As a female working in operations, I’m accepted for me and who I am. If you enjoy practical, hands-on work, and if you want to learn new skills supported by an experienced friendly team, my advice is to give it a go!”

Additional benefits for this role include:

• A competitive salary.
• Pension.
• 25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays on top.
• Share Saver Scheme.
• Life Assurance.
• Access to our employee benefits platform, giving you discounts on a wide variety of high street shops and brands.
• Broad learning opportunities and career progression pathways.
