About You
You’re someone who prefers being out on site rather than behind a desk, and you’re comfortable working in construction, demolition, or industrial settings. Early starts, travel, and changing locations don’t put you off – you enjoy the variety and the sense of purpose that comes with hands‑on work.
You take safety seriously and understand the importance of following procedures properly. Working to strict rules, method statements, and risk assessments feels natural to you, and you don’t cut corners. You’re calm, focused, and able to stay composed even in regulated environments where inspections, audits, or oversight are part of the job.
You’re practical by nature and learn best by doing. Repetition and routine don’t bother you – you see them as part of building consistency and getting things right every time. You’re comfortable using equipment, following technical processes, and working in PPE or RPE for extended periods when required.
You can work independently once trained, taking responsibility for your tasks, but you also communicate clearly with teammates and supervisors to make sure work is completed safely and correctly. You’re motivated by doing work that matters – contributing to environmental safety, compliance, and protecting public health.
You value clear expectations, stability, and progression. You’re interested in building a long‑term career, developing your skills step by step, and moving forward into roles such as surveyor or analyst over time.
Must be 18+ due to the nature of the working environment and a full manual driving licence is required for this role.
Apprenticeship Eligibility
* Be 18 or over
* Not be in full‑time education
* Lived in the UK for at least 3 years
