Construction Civil Engineering
Construction is a multi-billion pound industry that deals with developing and building anything from a housing estate to a bridge. Few industries are as wide-ranging, or offer so many different career routes.
You could be working on various sites in your region and beyond – there are also plenty of opportunities to work abroad, as many of the largest construction companies operate around the world.
On the Intermediate Level Apprenticeship you could work as a Construction Operative, working on a construction site or public place, laying drainage, placing street iron works, laying pavements and excavating holes and trenches. Or you would work as a Highways Maintenance Operative, working in a public place or Highway, repairing surfaces, laying drainage, placing street iron works, kerbs, pavements, installing vehicle safety fencing on highways, excavating and repairing.
As an Advanced Level apprentice you could work, for example, as a Plant Mechanic, working on a construction site or in a workshop carrying out maintenance and repairs to excavators, cranes, trucks and other machinery associated with plant. You could then specialise in hydraulics and electrical components.
