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
As an apprentice, you’ll work at our business and get hands-on experience. You’ll gain new skills and work alongside experienced staff.
You will work within a team of engineers to bring buildings to life!
Designing various installations found in buildings, which typically include systems such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning, drainage, lighting, power, controls, and lifts, to deliver buildings which meet safety, sustainability, efficiency and comfort requirements for the people that use them. We work across nearly every building sector for example commercial, healthcare, residential, public sector.
The role will involve preparation of calculations based on engineering principles, providing sustainable solutions to problems, learning project management and time management to deliver on deadlines, use of CAD or Revit for drawings, software for mark ups and specifications, site visits, project administration and QA process.
On a wider note, sustainability is at the heart of our business, so you will get involved in designing sustainable buildings as well as the sustainability of our business.
