Work

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

What you'll do at work

Civil Engineers Apprentices provide support to Civil Engineers who design, build and manage construction projects with our design teams. Some of the activities could be:

• Produce 2D drawings and 3D models using industry-standard CAD software for major infrastructure and construction projects.
• Work alongside experienced engineers, technicians, and designers to understand engineering briefs, design intent, construction methods, and how technical information supports real project delivery.
• Check, revise, and update drawings and models, ensuring changes are correctly controlled and issued.
• Use project systems to manage engineering information, drawings, documents, and digital records.
• Support project teams by participating in design reviews, coordinating information, and applying company engineering and digital processes.

What you'll learn

Course contents

• 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.
• Complete risk assessments to identify, evaluate, manage, and mitigate risks.
• Apply principles of sustainable development and evaluate their effectiveness on the whole project lifecycle of civil engineering solutions.
• Manage engineering activities that contribute to sustainable development and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
• Apply project management techniques, identifying, measuring, recording, and reporting progress against civil engineering project performance criteria.
• Manage quality processes and contribute to quality improvements.
• Plans and manages resources, equipment, and technology to meet project requirements, specifications, costs, and budgets and timescales, with an appreciation of statutory and commercial arrangements.
• Monitor and manage individual performance, and the input of others, recognising the need to adapt to, and communicate, changing demands.
• Comply with appropriate codes of practice and equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) requirements.
• Communicate in verbal and written contexts using appropriate methods for the audience. Use appropriate engineering terminology and conventions.
• Apply teamwork and collaboration principles.
• Apply ethical principles, identifying and analysing ethical concerns and making reasoned ethical choices.
• Plan, undertake, and review their own professional competence, regularly updating, recording, and reviewing their continuing professional development (CPD).
