What will the apprentice be doing?
As a BAM Apprentice you join other apprentices and will be learning from experienced BAM colleagues and will be adding value to the team in no time. We don’t require any prior experience as we’ll teach you everything you need to know about materials testing in the construction industry; you just need to be ready to work hard and get your hands dirty! This apprenticeship provides great variety as you’ll experience life out on site as well as in the lab carrying out testing.
The project you’ll be on is The Devonport dockyard refurbishment project which will take place at the Devonport Royal Dockyard, the largest naval base in Western Europe. The facility has been supporting the Royal Navy for more than 300 years since 1691. The vast site covers more than 650 acres and has 15 dry docks, four miles of waterfront, 25 tidal berths and five basins.
This apprenticeship is a unique opportunity to develop a career within the construction sector, offering you the chance to develop skills and specialisations that are highly sought.
Within this role you will develop an understanding and knowledge of the implementation of various methods to examine construction materials. Through training and development provided you will work towards excellence in the following areas:
- Carrying out sampling and testing of construction materials, soils, aggregates and concrete in line with Standards and customers specification.
- Carrying out a point of work risk assessment
- Checking that equipment to be used is in calibration and if broken or damaged this is reported to line manager immediately.
- Entering and completing on appropriate sheets all records, readings and results that arise from the procedure being carried out.
- Communicating clear instructions to site teams based on a thorough understanding of Client specification and expectations
- Provide clear and concise data to demonstrate compliance
- Carrying out testing using equipment checked for calibration to demonstrate compliance
- Delivering daily/weekly work programmes with site teams
- Maintaining detailed site diary
- Maintaining personal CPD record and CV to demonstrate career development
- Carrying out any other relevant duties as requested from time to time.
What training will the apprentice take and what qualification will the apprentice get at the end?
At Tiro we’re obsessed with changing lives through science and technology apprenticeships so we can’t wait to have you on board.
Over 21 months, you’ll devote a minimum of 6 hours of your working week on ‘off the job’ training. This can include theory training (for example, virtual lessons & online learning), alongside practical training (for example shadowing, mentoring, & time spent writing assignments. Together this will count towards a Level 3 Laboratory Technician apprenticeship. You’ll be trained by an expert tutor from Tiro as well as an experienced mentor at BAM Nuttall who together, will make sure you develop the knowledge, skills, and work habits you’ll need to succeed in your career.
Being an apprentice is hands-on, so you’ll get the chance to learn things you might otherwise not have experienced in a university or college environment.
The best part? You’ll be earning a salary while you gain your qualifications, meaning no huge student loans to pay back at the end of the programme!
