Apprentice Groundworker

You will work alongside a time-served groundworker, learning all aspects of groundworks, including foul and surface water drainage, kerbing, flagging, and block paving. You will gain experience operating 360° excavators, both above and below 10 tonnes, as well as site dumpers, rollers, wacker plates, and other equipment.

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 re-surfacing
• Using hand tools and small plant machinery

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.
