Apprentice Bricklayer

Elevate Brickwork is a fast-growing company with an expanding network of clients across North Yorkshire and beyond. We work on a variety of exciting construction projects, from new-build homes to large commercial sites.

As an apprentice, you’ll get stuck in from day one, learning a trade for life while earning and working as part of a supportive, skilled team. No two days are the same, and you’ll be developing real skills that employers value.

Your average week will include:

·        Learning the basics of bricklaying from experienced professionals.

·        Building cavity walls on housing developments.

·        Assisting with structural alterations to existing buildings.

·        Installing key components like wall ties, lintels, and damp-proof courses (DPC).

·        Laying substructure masonry on commercial and warehouse sites.

·        Loading out materials and keeping the site safe and tidy.

·        Using tools, equipment and machinery under supervision.

·        Reading and following construction drawings and instructions.

·        Developing teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills.

·        Gaining valuable experience while working towards a recognised qualification.

·        And every once in a while, you'll get the chance to work away from home — building for some of the most well-known brands in the UK.

If you enjoy working with your hands, being outdoors, and want a career with strong future prospects, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
