Work
As an apprentice, you’ll work at a company and get hands-on experience. You’ll gain new skills and work alongside experienced staff.
What you’ll do at work
* Work alongside experienced engineers and construction professionals. Together, you will be solving engineering challenges that arise during the construction of buildings. No one day is the same.
* Learn to design, plan and oversee the installation of building services systems. These include electrical systems, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, drainage, renewable technologies and other bits and bobs that bring a building to life.
* Co-ordinating site activities to make sure works get done safely, on time and to meet environmental legislation
* Drawing up and translating plans using CAD (computer aided system) and BIM (building information modelling) software
* Assisting with estimating and tenders in the pre-construction stage
* Over time, you will learn to develop cost effective technical and sustainable design solutions involving the production of 3D models, calculations, specifications, reports and drawings.
* Overall, you will be assisting with design, planning, health & safety, site operations and commercial tasks.
