A Little More About Your Role… As a paid, full‑time, permanent employee, you will join a global community of talented engineers, scientists and advisors. You will receive full training combined with real, on‑the‑job learning. You will work with dynamic teams on a variety of projects across multiple sectors from day one. You will ask questions, look at problems from a different angle and help find solutions that break concepts. As an apprentice you will help shape the communities of tomorrow, embrace change and achieve excellence. You will join an existing team working to develop BIM models for the Structures discipline. A typical week will include producing both 3D and 2D modelling, learning a variety of software packages and building strong work practices while gaining knowledge of health, safety and wellbeing.

The Apprenticeship: You will start your apprenticeship in September 2026, attending a local College for one day per week and working toward achieving a Level 3 Civil Engineering Technician Apprenticeship and EngTech equivalent in England (equivalent to 2 A‑Levels). You will also have the opportunity to become registered with a relevant professional institution. The apprenticeship supports career growth through blended learning, offering business and role‑specific training, networking, mentoring and practical experience. It includes an induction, training days, online content, on‑the‑job learning and on‑demand resources. Together with the dedicated Early Careers team, support from your team and an assigned buddy, we will work closely with you over the course of your apprenticeship to support and plan a development pathway that suits you. Typically, the apprenticeship takes between 2–3 years to complete (including End Point Assessment in England). We also have a unique Professional Growth Network (PGN), a networking group run by early‑career professionals for ECPs. It helps grow your network of contacts across the business and provides opportunities for extra experience to support you in achieving chartered status or other professional accreditations.

What We Will Be Looking For You To Demonstrate: Achieved or predicted 5 GCSEs Grade C/Level 5 or above (or equivalent) including English, Maths and Science.
