Description

The apprenticeship programme is a paid, structured programme of learning, typically lasting around 2 years for people aged 16 and over.

Apprentices spend the majority of their time in the workplace and an average of at least six hours per week in off-the-job training with a college or training provider.

We currently offer group apprenticeships at Level 3 or 4, in a range of disciplines, including:
Site Management (Construction)
Technical
Quantity Surveying (Commercial)
Business/Finance/HR
From day one you will gain real hands on experience on cutting edge projects while being supported and nurtured by your team.
You start your career with a two week induction designed to give you the chance to learn more about our business and meet other apprentices. Later on you also get the opportunity to be involved in departmental awareness sessions to help bring all stages of the development cycle to life.
