About the Role

ASKH Groundworks Ltd are looking to employ a new groundworker apprentice to join their expanding team. You will be working alongside & learning new skills from a team of experienced groundworkers to prepare construction sites for structural building works. This will involve all aspects of groundworks from deep drainage to block paving.

Groundworkers are employed on construction sites that involve ground preparation such as foundations or footing for new buildings.

Your day-to-day tasks may include:

  • Ground working – marking out and digging shallow trenches for foundations and drains.
  • Form working – putting up or dismantling the shuttering that holds setting concrete in place.
  • Installing drainage and manholes
  • Concreting
  • Minor road working – laying kerbs, paving and re-surfacing

Progression within the organisation with more responsibility is expected on successful completion of the apprenticeship. 

In time, you may wish to undertake further qualifications such as Occupational Work Supervision which can be studied at Level 3. With experience you could progress to Site Supervisor, Estimator, or Construction Manager.
