About the apprenticeship role…
We’re passionate about developing future talent. As an Apprentice Site Supervisor, you’ll learn how we deliver water and wastewater projects—from early design stages through to construction. You’ll work alongside experienced Site Managers, gaining hands-on experience in planning and running site activities safely and efficiently. You’ll also learn how to monitor quality, performance, and health and safety standards.
Your time will be split between working on site and learning on the job as well as studying towards your Level 4 Site Supervisor apprenticeship with support from our training provider. This apprenticeship will take around 24 months to complete including end point assessment (EPA). The role is based in the Birmingham area, and you will work 40 hours per week onsite.
This role is a September 2026 start.
What your day could look like…
Learning to manage risk, change, and opportunities throughout a project.
Responding to issues and communicating effectively with the team.
Understanding how to plan and allocate resources to keep projects on track.
Learning to assess environmental impacts and work with our environmental team to promote good practices.
Gaining experience in leading teams and subcontractors to meet high standards and deadlines.
Applying health, safety, quality, and environmental (HSEQ) standards every day.
Developing your commercial awareness to support financial reviews.
Learning how to carry out quality checks and meet contract requirements.
Developing client relationships and meet agreed performance targets.
We give all our apprentices the equivalent of one day a week to dedicate to your studies and time to attend training with your apprenticeship provider.
