Course Description:

Engineering Construction sits at the heart of the developed and developing world. Without engineering construction we would have no heating to warm our homes, no running water, or fuel to run the transport system on which so many of the things we take for granted. The industry is responsible for the design, construction and maintenance of process plants for the production of oil, gas, water, wind energy and food.

By becoming an Engineering Construction Apprentice you will be paid while you undertake your training where you will develop the necessary skills, processes and techniques to progress in your chosen field. The skills you will learn are those you will need to build a successful career.

The Apprenticeship provides a route to national industry-recognised qualifications, as well as a fast route into a career with good prospects and into an industry with plenty of opportunities.

As an Apprentice, you could be using computer-aided design (CAD) programmes to plan new projects; cutting and welding together pipework; erecting steel columns and beams to form a building’s framework; installing and servicing equipment in factories; maintaining pipelines and pumps; or inspecting machinery and newly installed systems.

On your Apprenticeship, you’ll gain a broad base of basic skills, knowledge and understanding about the engineering construction industry, which will help you decide which specialism you’d like to pursue further.
