Civil Engineering Apprenticeship

Are you someone with experience in Civil Engineering, specialising in Highways but wanting to increase your potential and add more? Would you like to gain professional experience and an academic qualification, whilst being paid? If so, then this exciting opportunity could be for you!

Through delivering improvements to our existing highway network, the work that we do directly impacts the whole community. By joining us, you could be helping to make a positive difference for everybody that lives in, works in, or visits Hampshire.

As a Highway Technician, you will be assisting engineers in delivering a large variety of highway schemes throughout Hampshire and enabling the efficient running and delivery of the capital schemes. Most of your apprenticeship is spent working, learning on the job by getting hands-on experience. Apprenticeships include time away from working for specialist training, where you’ll study to gain professional knowledge and skills.

Requirements

• Apply engineering principles to solve engineering problems: scientific, theoretical and technical principles.
• Apply civil engineering techniques, procedures and methods, and review and evaluate the results, including measuring and testing, designing, installing, commissioning, constructing, maintaining or operating civil engineering components and systems; consider how continuous improvement can contribute to improved performance.
• Employ mathematical, statistical and data interpretation tools, using analytical and computational methods, and apply an integrated or systems-based approach.
• Identify, interpret and compare information to select materials, components or parts used in civil engineering.
• Research, collect, select and evaluate technical literature and other sources of data and information to address, analyse and evaluate civil engineering problems.
• Produce civil engineering technical solutions in accordance with relevant industry standards, policies, codes of practice, regulations, and legislation.
• Select and apply computational and analytical techniques to model civil engineering problems, recognising the limitations of the techniques employed.
• Contribute to the design, development and implementation of civil engineering solutions, and evaluate their effectiveness in the context of the whole project life cycle.
• Manage and comply with statutory health, safety and welfare policies, procedures and regulation, and contribute to improvements in health, safety and welfare, within their own area of responsibility.
