Apprentice Site Engineer

Site Engineering is a critical discipline within the Construction industry, ensuring whatever's being built is completed as per the designs. Our apprenticeship provides an unrivalled introduction to what is a highly regarded and rewarding career through a mix of on and off-site learning led by our dedicated Training Manager.

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.
