Skills, Knowledge, and Expertise
Qualifications
It's about enthusiasm, not school results. In our experience the most successful apprentices are those who have drive to find out more about the sector, can be up front about what they do and don't already know, are considerate, self-reflective, and impatient to learn the job role!
Experience
Whilst previous experience is great, we're not just interested in experience and qualifications; we're looking for someone with the right attitude and aptitude to fit right in at ACE Consultants. If you do hold some experience working in a construction environment, or a CSCS card - even better!
About you
ACE Consultants' sites and laboratories are a tightly run ship! To thrive in this role, you will need:
* An enjoyment for hands-on, practical work - you should be willing to get stuck in and learn from the offset!
* To be focused and careful in all aspects of work, with good attention to detail
* To be able to think on your feet and follow instructions and health & safety guidelines clearly - due to the environment and nature of the role
* Comfortable using computers and Microsoft Office
* Confident communicator and a positive team player
* If you currently hold some experience of working with tools and technical equipment, it's beneficial but not required!
To succeed in this apprenticeship, you'll need bags of enthusiasm, be a fantastic collaborator and be hungry to learn!
Please note, because of the site-based nature of this position, you must hold a valid UK Driving License and be willing to drive to different sites on a daily basis. Part of your role will also require occasional heavy lifting.
Even if this doesn't sound quite like you, but you still think you could do a great job in the role, get in touch. We're always open to hearing from you!
So how does the apprenticeship work?
At Tiro we're obsessed with changing lives through science and technology apprenticeships so we can't wait to have you on board. Over 21 months, you'll devote a minimum of 6 hours of your working week on 'off the job' training. This can include theory training (for example, virtual lessons & online learning), alongside practical training (for example shadowing, mentoring, & time spent writing assignments. Together this will count towards a Level 3 Asbestos Surveyor and Analyst qualification. You'll be trained by an expert tutor from Tiro as well as an experienced mentor at ACE Consultants who together, will make sure you develop the knowledge, skills, and work habits you'll need to succeed in your career.
Being an apprentice is hands-on, so you'll get the chance to learn things you might otherwise not have experienced in a university or college environment.
The best part? You'll be earning a salary while you gain your qualifications, meaning no huge student loans to pay back at the end of the programme!
