Many engineers who decide to progress through the apprenticeship route find that working during the day on projects whilst attending part time study provides an invaluable experience and enables a work focused programme of learning delivering increased technical skills and behaviours that are invaluable for their career.

    Within your team you will be guided by your line manager and colleagues within a strong collaborative ethos that will enable you to develop your engineering understanding, knowledge and skills by working on a broad range of projects. There are also wider groups such as the Young Employees Forum (YEF) for those at an early stage of their career which provides a wider peer network across the many design, advisory and consulting disciplines that is Buro Happold. The YEF not only organises professional development events but has a wider focus on encouraging participation in voluntary activities and social events.

    What our apprentices say

    "Working at Buro Happold within the Building Environments team has been an excellent experience. What initially captivated me about Buro Happold were the remarkable projects we work on and the design work we undertake. Since joining, the BBE team has made my apprenticeship journey incredibly rewarding and they have been really supportive with the part-time studying. It's a great opportunity to gain practical experience and study at the same time, especially with such an inspiring team, including engineers who began as apprentices themselves." Rebecca McKay, Apprentice Building Services Engineer.

    "As an apprentice working at Buro Happold, I have had the opportunity to work on incredible engineering projects and learn from experienced professionals throughout my early career. The apprenticeship scheme allows me to study a degree in Building Services Engineering alongside working, with this degree I will be able to become a qualified engineer and it also provides me with the opportunity to learn additional skills in disciplines such as project management and law. I would highly recommend joining Buro Happold, you will be very supported in developing your career." Tom Love, Apprentice Building Services Engineer.
