Costain's strong partnership with Thames Water continues into AMP8 as we have secured our position on their Capital Delivery Programme.
The Thames Water AMP8 Capital Delivery Programme (2025-2030) covers a mix of non-infrastructure projects ranging from smaller capital maintenance to large civil new build schemes.
Working on a variety of water and wastewater projects you will be involved in the design, construction, commissioning and putting to work of contracts to ensure they are completed in the most efficient manner.
What does joining an apprenticeship at Costain offer you?
Our apprenticeship programme offers you the opportunity to gain a recognised qualification with a quality training provider to develop your technical and behavioural skills. The programme offers a permanent position and a great opportunity for growth and development with growing levels of responsibility as you progress into a challenging and rewarding role.
There are a wide range of apprenticeships available, both in levels of qualification and length of study. At Costain we have a variety of apprenticeships on offer, working on projects around the UK, in the sectors including nuclear, highways, rail, water, airports and tunnels, and with a number of partners and joint ventures.
The level and training provider for your apprenticeship will depend on the skills you present at assessment centre or interview. The Early Careers Team will register you with a suitable training provider who can support the delivery of your qualification. Being an apprentice means you work both on-the-job with your project at site, and off-the-job with the provider.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
When taking on one of the many apprenticeships on offer by Costain, you will be supported by your project line manager and the team, the Costain Early Careers Team, and the training provider of your academic qualification. The training provider may be a college, a university or even an independent training provider.
You will be supported throughout your apprenticeship by your local team and line manager, and you will be given time to carry out your studies with the provider. Your on-the-job training will be in line with the work available on site but will afford the opportunity to ensure that you are given on site experience required to meet the technical and competency levels in order to achieve your apprenticeship goals.
