What you will do in your working day:
Our apprenticeships are designed to give you insight into the Built Environment Consultancy sector and help you explore your skills and interests within this important part of the economy. Through a combination of on‑the‑job learning and practical skills development, you’ll work on real projects from day one projects that offer scale, variety, collaboration opportunities, and the chance to make a meaningful impact on the world around us.
You will also have the opportunity to work towards a professional qualification.
Our Infrastructure and Environment (I&E) Group of which you will be a part provides environmental consultancy and infrastructure planning, design and procurement support to landowners and developers. These projects range from large commercial buildings and campuses to some of the UK’s biggest urban regeneration schemes, garden villages, towns and cities.
Within I&E, the specialist Utilities discipline offers technical, commercial and procurement advice on new water, energy and utilities strategies, new infrastructure and connections, and alterations or diversions to existing overhead and underground utilities. This includes water, sewerage, decentralised heat and energy networks, electricity and telecommunications.
You’ll be supported by our leaders, technical specialists, dedicated mentors and our continuous learning and development framework.
The role will develop you as a Utilities Consultant, enabling you to provide advice, consult and negotiate with utility companies, prepare drawings in AutoCAD (and often Revit), and produce coordinated utilities designs. You’ll work closely with Civil Engineers, Architects, Landscape Architects, Utility Undertakers, Contractors and Project Managers through Design Team Meetings. You’ll also learn to identify risks and assess costs related to new utility connections, including potential network capacity issues.
