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 multi million projects. Leaving a lasting legacy and positive change in our communities.

On completion of a level 2 apprenticeship, you will then be given the opportunity to progress on to further learning and leadership training to work towards becoming a Works Manager of the future.

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 a variety of 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.

What you'll need

Academic requirements

Additional requirements

• Due to the nature of our industry, you may be required to move away to work on a project. We cannot always guarantee that you will be placed on a project which is close to your home. BAM do support this by paying a living away allowance.

We’re seeking enthusiastic individuals who:

• Are eager to learn and develop new skills.
• Enjoy practical, hands-on work in an outdoor environment.
• 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.
