Contribute to bids and tenders by identifying temporary works requirements.

Work towards ICE or IStructE chartership with structured mentoring and support.
What We’re Looking For:
*

Proficiency in AutoCAD (2D) and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel).
*
A basic understanding of structural materials (steel, concrete, timber).

Willingness to visit sites and engage directly with construction teams.

Why Join Us?
*
Be part of a team delivering real impact at Gatwick Airport and beyond.
*
Receive ongoing training, mentorship, and support towards professional chartership.
