Purpose & Scope of the Role

As an Apprentice Civil Engineer, you will support the design and delivery of civil and structural engineering and infrastructure projects. Working alongside experienced engineers and technicians, you will contribute to projects from early-stage concept development through to detailed design and construction support, gaining broad experience across the full project lifecycle.

The role offers the opportunity to develop knowledge across areas such as structural design, highways and access design, drainage and water management, earthworks, utilities and site infrastructure. You will work closely with colleagues from a range of technical disciplines, helping to develop coordinated and practical engineering solutions for our clients.

As your knowledge and experience develop, you will begin using industry-standard design and modelling software and learn how engineering drawings, calculations and technical documentation are produced.

Throughout your apprenticeship, you will be supported by your university and a dedicated workplace mentor who will help you build your technical capability, professional confidence and the practical experience required to succeed both academically and professionally.

This apprenticeship has been designed to provide a strong foundation for a long-term career in Civil Engineering. Alongside your academic studies, you will gain practical experience working on real projects and learning from experienced engineering professionals.

You will combine practical workplace experience with university study. The format of study will depend on the apprenticeship provider and may include day release, block release or blended learning, allowing you to apply your academic learning to real engineering challenges.

You will develop skills in engineering analysis and design, technical drawing, problem solving, project delivery and professional communication while gaining experience using industry-standard software such as AutoCAD, Revit and Civil 3D.

As your confidence grows, you will be encouraged to take increasing ownership of your work and develop a broader understanding of engineering consultancy. Regular support and feedback from your line manager and workplace mentor will help you build your technical knowledge and identify opportunities to develop throughout your apprenticeship.

On successful completion of the apprenticeship, you will be well positioned to progress into an Engineer role and continue your development towards professional qualification such as Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng).
