Job Description

The successful applicant will apply civil engineering techniques, procedures, and methods, and review and evaluate the results. This includes measuring and testing, designing, installing, commissioning, constructing, maintaining, or operating civil engineering components and systems, considering how continuous improvement can contribute to improved performance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Employ mathematical, statistical, and data interpretation tools, using analytical and computational methods, and apply an integrated or systems-based approach.
• Identify, interpret, and compare information to select materials, components, or parts used in civil engineering.
• Research, collect, select, and evaluate technical literature and other sources of data and information to address, analyse, and evaluate civil engineering problems.
• Produce civil engineering technical solutions in accordance with relevant industry standards, policies, codes of practice, regulations, and legislation.
• Select and apply computational and analytical techniques to model civil engineering problems, recognising the limitations of the techniques employed.
• Contribute to the design, development, and implementation of civil engineering solutions, and evaluate their effectiveness in the context of the whole project life cycle.
• Manage and comply with statutory health, safety, and welfare policies, procedures, and regulation, and contribute to improvements in health, safety, and welfare, within their own area of responsibility.
• Complete risk assessments to identify, evaluate, manage, and mitigate risks.
• Apply principles of sustainable development and evaluate their effectiveness on the whole project lifecycle of civil engineering solutions.
• Manage engineering activities that contribute to sustainable development and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
• Apply project management techniques, identifying, measuring, recording, and reporting progress against civil engineering project performance criteria.
• Manage quality processes and contribute to quality improvements.
• Plan and manage resources, equipment, and technology, to meet project requirements, specifications, costs, and budgets, and timescales, with an appreciation of statutory and commercial arrangements.
• Monitor and manage individual performance, and the input of others, recognising the need to adapt to, and communicate, changing demands.
• Comply with appropriate codes of practice and equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) requirements.
• Communicate in verbal and written contexts using appropriate methods for the audience. Use appropriate engineering terminology and conventions.
• Apply teamwork and collaboration principles.
• Apply ethical principles, identifying and analysing ethical concerns and making reasoned ethical choices.
• Plan, undertake, and review their own professional competence, regularly updating, recording, and reviewing their continuing professional development (CPD).

Qualifications and Experience:

• GCSE in English (grade C)
• GCSE in Maths (grade C)
• Other relevant qualifications and industry experience are desirable. The apprenticeship can be adjusted to reflect what you already know.
