Apprentice Groundworker
PAC Groundworks Ltd
About the Role
PAC Groundworks is looking to employ two new groundworks apprentices to work in and around the Rotherham area. You will work alongside and learn new skills from a team of experienced groundworkers, interpreting design specifications to prepare a construction site ready for structural building works to take place.
Groundworkers are employed on construction sites that involve ground preparation, such as, foundations or footings 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 the setting concrete in place.
- Installing drainage and manholes
- Concreting
- Minor road working – laying kerbs, paving and resurfacing
- Hand tools and small plant machinery
This is a fantastic opportunity for the successful candidate to start their career with a highly reputable and well-established company.
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.
About the Training
You will achieve the Level 2 Groundworker Apprenticeship Standard by attending CP Assessments Training Centre in Denaby Main, Doncaster to undertake 7 block-release training sessions (4 days), every 10 - 12 weeks.
The successful candidate will work towards achieving Functional Skills Level 2 in both Maths and English if they have not achieved this prior or have an equivalent.
Apprentices will also get an Apprentice CSCS card which can be upgraded on completion of the apprenticeship.
