Construction Operative Apprentice

You can expect to work with everyone on a construction site while you help prepare the site ready for the structural building works to take place.   You also work throughout the construction phase, working with all on-site construction trades, such as bricklayers and plant operatives, up to and including the final completion activities of the project.  Your work may include setting out and preparing the sub-surfaces ready for the structural work to begin, installing drainage systems, concreting, constructing roads and pathways and carrying out the finished hard landscaping.   We offer a variety of work on projects across our rail, tunnelling, plant operations, engineering, utilities, and buildings sectors.  We partner with CITB’s National Construction College (NCC) at Bircham Newton, King’s Lynn, on the apprenticeship where you will attend block-release study every 6-8 weeks. The college offers full facilities on site to ensure you have what you need to be able to get the most out of the focussed learning time.
