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

• You will begin by learning CAD skills which are the basis of all the construction designs we do.
• You will work alongside experienced technicians and engineers to develop your knowledge of building engineering.
• You will translate civil engineers’ and architects’ designs into technical drawings, taking into account elements such as environmental features and utilities, making decisions and recommendations as to how these are dealt with.
• You will communicate with clients, suppliers and colleagues as part of this process.
• As your skills develop, you will then start to be involved in engineering design, working towards designing independently.
• You will be supported all along with on-the-job training and mentoring from our team of experienced, industry-leading professionals at our office in Gloucester.
