Degree Apprenticeship - Management trainee

We are currently recruiting for an operations management trainee for our Central South region to start in September 2023. We are looking for the successful candidate to focus on project management in a site environment but as part of this scheme you will be supported to spend time in other areas of construction including quantity surveying, design management and other areas of pre-construction on a placement basis. This provides you with broad construction experience and will support you with your career in the future.

Our 4 year programme will give you a great foundation as we will provide you with all the support you require to study for a relevant degree qualification whilst you are gaining valuable, hands-on work experience on our construction projects.

Your future

On successful completion of the 4 year programme, you will be promoted into an assistant manager level role within your chosen discipline and positively supported to complete a professional qualification such as RIBA, CIOB or RICS.
We have been nurturing future talent in this way for over 40 years and many of our past Management Trainees are now in senior managerial roles or sit on the main board. This is a structured, proven route to a management role in one of the most forward-thinking construction companies in the UK.
