Job Overview

Job purpose

Are you looking to kick-start your career in construction? Do you enjoy working outdoors and being hands-on? Join our team as a Groundworker Apprentice and build the foundations for a successful career in the industry!

BAM is a trusted name in construction, delivering high-quality infrastructure projects. From foundations to drainage, we take pride in creating the groundwork for success.

A BAM apprenticeship is a full time earn and learn position; where you will be involved in delivering multi million projects. Leaving a lasting legacy and positive change in our communities.

On completion of a Modern Apprenticeship in Groundworks, you will then be given the opportunity to progress on to further learning and leadership training to work towards becoming a Works Manager of the future.

As a Groundworker Apprentice, you’ll learn essential skills to support construction projects, including:

Preparing and levelling construction sites.

Laying foundations, drainage systems, and concrete.

Operating and maintaining tools and equipment.

Following health and safety protocols on-site.

Working as part of a team to complete a variety of groundwork tasks.

You’ll gain hands-on experience while working towards a Modern Apprenticeship in Groundworks (SQF L5 in Construction and Civil Engineering Operations) with the support of experienced mentors and on-the-job training.

Academic requirements

Ideally, you’ll have five National 4 or 5s (or similar) English and Maths but you'll have the opportunity to build on your academic achievements so far whilst on the apprenticeship.

To be eligible for this apprenticeship you must not already hold a similar qualification of the same level.

Additional Requirements

A lot of our projects are in locations that are not accessible via public transport so a driving licence would be desirable or the ability to learn and have access to a vehicle whilst on the apprenticeship.

Due to the nature of our industry, you may be required to move away to work on a project. We cannot always guarantee that you will be placed on a project which is close to your home. BAM do support this by paying a living away allowance.
