Apprentice Site Engineer

In addition to completing your college-based studies, you will be developing core job skills through a combination of on-site learning (under the tutelage of a mentor) and completion of activity-specific training modules off-site at our offices in Lathom with our Training Manager.

The skills you'd develop and activities you'd undertake would include:

Reading construction drawings Manipulating drawings to extract relevant data Transferring data to the total station controller for setting-out purposes Understand how to set out the lines & level of various features, predominantly groundworks aspects such as piles, foundations, drainage Understand how, when, and why to use various pieces of equipment, including total stations, GPS systems, automatic levels, laser levels and tape measure & string line Completing quality assurance checks Conducting basic surveys such as for original ground levels or slab levels

 

Additionally, as you will be working on busy construction sites with ever-changing risk profiles, you will be responsible for keeping yourself and those around you safe by wearing the correct PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) at all times, keeping to designated walkways and making sure Plan Operators and others are aware of your presence.

Upon commencement, you will join one of our experienced Site Engineers, shadowing them to gain an understanding of their role and responsibilities before being tasked with completing your own activities. Throughout the course of the apprenticeship, however, you will work with different mentors on different sites throughout the North West (for example, in Manchester, Liverpool, Preston, Blackpool, Burnley, or Chester), exposing you to alternative approaches and techniques as well as a wider variety of construction processes and activities, accelerating your learning and development.

By the end of the apprenticeship, we would expect you to be able to attend sites on your own and complete certain setting-out and surveying tasks unsupervised.

 

Training:

Civil Engineering Technician Level 3.

Training Outcome:

Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship, you will be promoted to Junior Site Engineer.

Thereafter, progression available with our company would be to Site Engineer, then Senior Site Engineer.
