Construction Site Supervisor Higher Apprenticeship
Are you interested in the built environment? Do you enjoy working outdoors? Are you often curious about how things are made and why things work?
At Breedon we are very ambitious, and you’ll be instrumental in helping us to build a bright and sustainable future by assisting our Contracts managers to provide a safe and efficient delivery of surfacing projects, including traffic management, minor civils, planning and lining.
Breedon is a home for inquisitive learners. Quarries, cement, and construction are no longer old-fashioned sectors. We’re providing the foundation for our lives, building the places where we live and work, play and in-between.
Interested in…?
- Being paid to go to college; earn as you learn, without having to ‘work the time back’.
- Achieving a Level 4 Construction Site Supervisor Apprenticeship Standard, which includes a HNC in Construction Management. This will be on a day release basis at Nottingham College.
- Full company funding of any fees for qualifications and training
- No need to buy your own kit or any work equipment; it’s all on us.
- A competitive salary significantly higher than the national minimum wage for apprentices
- Support from a community of apprentices; a collaborative and comprehensive induction
- A huge variety of potential career progression pathways at a stable, thriving business.
As a Construction Site Supervisor Apprentice, within the Surfacing Solutions business you’ll be involved in all aspects from operational, commercial and administration.
You will undertake theoretical and practical training to develop the knowledge, skills and experience required to ensure you have a thorough understanding of all areas.
If you’re one to tiptoe around puddles with trepidation, maybe this role isn’t for you. You won’t be spending every day in a clean, corporate office swivelling on an office chair! Time will be spent working within all operational departments.
Do You Offer…?
- A minimum of 5 GCSE grades 5-9, as well as A levels or a BTEC in related topics, e.g., Engineering, Construction, Maths, Physics or Business.
- A full UK Driving Licence – during your apprenticeship with us, we want you to experience and see everything we have to offer so you will need to be flexible to travel to other sites.
- A genuine interest in the construction materials industry – we’d love to hear about why you chose us and what interests you about this role!
- You will need to be a minimum age of 18 (by December 2024).
In joining us, you won’t be thrown in the deep end or treated like just a number; you’ll work in a close-knit team, with someone always on hand to offer help.
Why Breedon…?
