Bridge Engineering Apprentice Technician Level 4

We are looking for a Level 4 Civil Engineering Apprentice to join our Bridges team in London. As an apprentice technician within our Bridges team, your role will evolve to be able to develop engineering calculations and sketches into 2D Drawings and 3D Models using tools such as Autodesk AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D and Tekla. You will be responsible to set up, manage and coordinate your models and drawings with other engineering disciplines. You will also work closely with the design and client teams, to enhance collaboration and to develop innovative design solutions.

As part of Buro Happold's Bridges team, you will develop your engineering and digital knowledge and skills, specifically:

• 2D/3D visualisation and simulation of bridges projects;
• Communication of complex engineering principles to stakeholders digitally using tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D and Tekla;
• Adherence to industry standards and regulations for engineering design and digital information.

Within both teams, you would be expected to:

• Develop your civil engineering knowledge, learning from university, colleagues and in-house training;
• Prepare technical drawings and schedules, BIM models and innovative design solutions;
• Develop your use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) software to design engineering services on projects learning from colleagues and in-house training;
• Attend site visits to further develop your engineering knowledge.

Application

Please note that this opportunity is in partnership with London Southbank University and their apprenticeship team will be reviewing the applications in the first instance. Please ensure you apply; applications made on this job will not be reviewed.
