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
The apprentice will work alongside an experienced property developer and tradespeople on a wide variety of residential projects. Duties will vary from project to project and may include:
• General building and property renovation
• Joinery and carpentry tasks
• Basic plumbing and electrical preparation under appropriate supervision
• Kitchens and bathrooms
• Plasterboarding, insulation and internal finishing
• Roofing and external works
• Landscaping and groundwork
• Windows, doors and second-fix work
• Site preparation, materials handling and keeping work areas safe and tidy
The role is intended to develop a genuinely versatile set of skills rather than restricting the apprentice to one narrow area of property development.
