Job Description

The Opportunity

This is a serious launchpad into civil engineering — not a box-ticking apprenticeship.

You’ll be part of Sizewell C, one of the UK’s most important low-carbon infrastructure projects. When complete, it will supply reliable electricity to 6 million homes for at least 60 years, putting you right at the centre of the UK’s energy future.

If you want real responsibility, proper engineering exposure, and a career that actually matters, this one’s for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Civil Engineering Apprentice, you’ll work alongside experienced engineers and construction professionals across every stage of a major infrastructure project — from design to delivery and beyond.

You’ll gain hands-on experience in areas such as:

• Civil and structural design
• Health, safety and engineering analysis
• Site construction and environmental management
• Earthworks and temporary works
• Tunnelling, marine and coastal engineering
• Water, waste and flood management
• Transport and power infrastructure
• Project delivery and installation

This is broad, technical, and practical — exactly what early-career engineers need.

Training & Development

This is a 5.5-year Level 6 Degree Apprenticeship designed to take you from learner to professionally recognised engineer.

• Study towards a BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineering
• One day per week at University of Suffolk (Ipswich campus)
• On completion, progress directly to IEng registration via your End-Point Assessment
• Accelerated career progression once qualified

You’ll graduate with zero student debt, a degree, industry experience, and professional recognition. That combo is elite.

Location & Travel

• Primary base: London office
• Occasional travel to Suffolk (Sizewell site)
• Placements across different business units to broaden experience

Flexibility is key — this is a infrastructure project, not a desk-only role.

Who This Is For

You’re eligible if you have:

• 5 GCSEs at grades 9–4 (A–C)* including Maths, English and Science
• 112 UCAS tariff points, achieved via:
• A Levels (A*–C) including Mathematics and a Physical Science, or
• A Level 3 Civil Engineering Technician Apprenticeship

You don’t need to be perfect — but you do need to be committed, curious, and ready to graft.

Key Criteria (Quick Check)

Essential

• GCSE Maths, English and Science (Grade 4/C or above)
• 112 UCAS points (or Level 3 Engineering Apprenticeship)
• Strong interest in civil engineering and infrastructure
• Willingness to travel and learn on site
• Right to work in the UK

Desirable

• A Level Maths or Physical Science
• Interest in sustainability, energy or major infrastructure
• Practical mindset and problem-solving attitude
