What will I be doing as an apprentice? As a BAM Apprentice you join other apprentices and will be learning from experienced BAM colleagues and will be adding value to the team in no time. We don’t require any prior experience as we’ll teach you everything you need to know about materials testing in the construction industry; you just need to be ready to work hard and get your hands dirty!
This apprenticeship provides great variety as you’ll experience life out on site as well as in the lab carrying out testing. The project you’ll be on is The HS2 Project. HS2 is Britain’s new high speed rail line being built from London to the North-West, with HS2 trains linking the biggest cities in Scotland, Manchester, Birmingham and London.
Within this role you will develop an understanding and knowledge of the implementation of various methods to examine construction materials. Through training and development provided you will work towards excellence in the following areas:
* Carrying out sampling and testing of construction materials, soils, aggregates and concrete in line with Standards and customers specification.
* Carrying out a point of work risk assessment
* Checking that equipment to be used is in calibration and if broken or damaged this is reported to line manager immediately.
* Entering and completing on appropriate sheets all records, readings and results that arise from the procedure being carried out.
* Communicating clear instructions to site teams based on a thorough understanding of Client specification and expectations
* Provide clear and concise data to demonstrate compliance
* Carrying out testing using equipment checked for calibration to demonstrate compliance
* Delivering daily/weekly work programmes with site teams
* Maintaining detailed site diary

What could the future look like? BAM Nuttall Limited are committed to developing emerging talent. Individuals can use the apprenticeship plans to jumpstart a successful career in a skilled industry through on-the-job training and online study.
Skills, Knowledge, and Experience. The ideal candidate will be reliable and highly motivated. They will have a keen eye for detail and be able to work to instruction. They will be a methodical, accurate person who take a sense of satisfaction from ensuring we get the testing parameters right every time for our customers.
About You. To succeed in this apprenticeship, you’ll need bags of enthusiasm, be a fantastic collaborator and be hungry to learn! Whilst previous experience is great, we at Tiro are always open to wildcards. 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 BAM Nuttall.
Qualifications. It’s about enthusiasm, not school results. In our experience the most successful apprentices are those who are driven 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!
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.
Eligibility. While we never want to hinder your job application process with obstacles, there are some minimum requirements you’ll need to meet in order to do an apprenticeship, these are rules set by the UK Government.
