Are you looking to kick-start your career in construction? Do you enjoy working outdoors and being hands-on? Join our team as a Groundworker Apprentice and build the foundations for a successful career in the industry!

BAM is a trusted name in construction, delivering high-quality infrastructure projects. From foundations to drainage, we take pride in creating the groundwork for success.

A BAM apprenticeship is a full-time earn-and-learn position, where you will be involved in delivering multimillion-pound projects. Leave a lasting legacy and positive change in our communities.

On completion of a Level 2 apprenticeship, you will have the opportunity to progress to further learning and leadership training to work towards becoming a future Works Manager.

What you'll be doing

As a Groundworker Apprentice, you’ll learn essential skills to support construction projects, including:

• Preparing and levelling construction sites.
• Laying foundations, drainage systems, and concrete.
• Operating and maintaining tools and equipment.
• Following health and safety protocols on-site.
• Working as part of a team to complete various groundwork tasks.

You’ll gain hands-on experience while working towards a Level 2 Groundworker Apprenticeship with the support of experienced mentors and on-the-job training.

Our projects cover all types of infrastructure, from rail and road to work on behalf of the Environment Agency and National Grid.

What you'll need

Academic requirements

• GCSEs in Maths and English with grade 5 or above are desirable, but you will have the opportunity to build on your academic achievements during the apprenticeship.
• To be eligible, you must not already hold a similar qualification at the same level.

Additional requirements

• A driving licence would be desirable, or the ability to learn and access a vehicle during the apprenticeship, as many projects are not accessible via public transport.
• Due to the industry nature, you may be required to move away to work on projects. BAM supports this by paying a living away allowance.

Who are we looking for?

We’re seeking enthusiastic individuals who:

• Are eager to learn and develop new skills.
• Enjoy practical, hands-on work outdoors.
• Have good communication and teamwork skills.
• Are reliable, hardworking, and take pride in their work.
• Hold a valid driving licence (desirable) or are willing to obtain one during the apprenticeship.
• Are willing to sometimes live away on projects or travel.

Your work environment

What's in it for you?

In addition to a competitive salary, living away allowance, and benefits package, we provide ongoing development opportunities within a creative and supportive work environment. BAM is committed to equality of opportunity and developing family-friendly policies to support work-life balance.

• Generous holiday allowance, including an additional holiday purchase scheme.
• Annual salary review.
• Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).

We aim to align with our values of being collaborative, reliable, inclusive, and taking ownership of your work, while understanding your personal values, potential, and development areas for the role.
