This apprenticeship is a recommended pathway for those interested in a hands-on career in construction, particularly if you enjoy working with heavy machinery and have an interest in the mechanics of plant and equipment.
This apprenticeship combines practical, on-the-job experience with classroom-based instruction. It is designed for individuals who want to gain the knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed to become a plant operator in construction, the built-environment, or infrastructure sectors.
Successful candidates will work on sites throughout the UK and will need to travel to and from the site either on a daily or weekly basis.
Candidates will work outdoors in all seasons, and depending on the project type (e.g. roadworks, rail maintenance), this may involve overnight, weekends, or antisocial hours.
If you are looking for an exciting career where every day is different, get in touch with the team.
