Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
As an apprentice at Griffiths Evans, you’ll be immersed in real projects from day one, working alongside experienced engineers and designers on innovative building services solutions.
Your week will be a mix of hands-on experience, structured training, and professional development.
Typical Tasks You’ll Be Involved In:
- Assisting in the design and development of mechanical, electrical, and public health (MEP) systems for major projects.
- Using industry-leading software like Revit and AutoCAD to create technical drawings and 3D models.
- Conducting site visits to see projects come to life and gain a deeper understanding of real-world applications.
- Collaborating with engineers and project teams to solve design challenges and improve sustainability.
- Learning about British Standards, Building Regulations, and the latest industry technologies.
- Supporting the production of reports, calculations, and technical documents for clients.
Throughout your apprenticeship, you'll receive structured training, mentorship, and access to industry-recognised qualifications, ensuring you develop the skills and knowledge to build a successful career in engineering and design.

After this apprenticeship
This is predominantly an office-based role, using computers for long periods of time. Once you are settled in there will be visits to site, some of which could still be construction sites, others could be finished buildings.
You will work with multiple members of the team on different projects and deadlines, and so communication and prioritisation are key. Initial interviews will take place via Teams and second-stage interviews will be in person at our office.
