What you'll be doing

As an apprentice in Construction Site Supervision, you’ll learn about our site operations and get involved in a variety of construction schemes in our Yorkshire North East or South West regions.

Working with our Operations Scheme Delivery teams, you’ll support on-site delivery in the construction phase of our capital investment and improvement projects. You’ll also learn how we manage the performance on-site of our Scheme Delivery Framework, Category Management, Maintenance and Response and our specialist contractors.

As well as developing your technical skills and knowledge, you’ll discover:

  • How we deliver construction schemes with our supply chain
  • How we report on progress and control quality on construction schemes
  • How we control health and safety standards to make sure our schemes are as efficient and as safe as possible

You’ll also complete a Level 4 qualification in Construction and the Built Environment, which will boost your career possibilities in site supervision, or help you qualify for a higher level apprenticeship in construction site management.

There’ll be plenty of opportunities to apply your learning and gain real-world experience, which will include regular visits to live sites. As our operations are 24/7, there will be times where you’ll need to work unsociable hours.

What you'll get in return

By combining working and learning, you’ll gain valuable hands-on experience and pave the way for a bright future with us. We’ll support your development every step of the way and you’ll enjoy the chance to shape your future with personalised development plans and career guidance.

You’ll have:

  • A dedicated line manager, job mentors and a skills coach to provide encouragement, direction and career planning support
  • Flexible working arrangements and time away from your role for your studies
  • Opportunities to connect and network with other apprentices as part of our Early Talent community

As well as a competitive salary, you’ll also have access to a fantastic employee benefits package. Find out more about the benefits we offer at National Highways.
