Join our Engineering Team at Thanet District Council! We're seeking an Apprentice Engineer to join our dynamic multi-disciplined Engineering Team to support in maintenance and project delivery across the Thanet district, but with a focus on the coastline.

Responsibilities include:

• carrying out defect inspections of 19 miles of coastline and making arrangements for repair
• valuation of works
• assisting in the preparation and implementation of coast protection and municipal engineering projects

As an apprentice, you will be required to undertake a recognised part-time course of study that will lead to admission of a recognised professional institution relative to the type of work carried out by the team.

Local government experience is not essential but a sound knowledge of engineering principals and engineering tools such as AutoCAD is.

If you're eager to be part of Thanet's future, apply today. We value diversity and welcome enthusiastic individuals to join our community-driven efforts.

Thanet is a great place to live and work... Our historic seaside towns of Ramsgate, Margate and Broadstairs and surrounding villages are rich in heritage and opportunity.

We have set our sights high. We want our residents to enjoy the highest quality services. We want to ensure that by listening to local people, working in active partnership and doing things in an innovative way, we can accelerate improvement to meet the challenges ahead.
