Degree Apprenticeship: Civil Engineering - Transport

Overview

These opportunities are for those who have A-levels or equivalent and are looking to undertake a Degree Apprenticeship (level
6). We will close for applications on Monday 9th March 2026; however, if this opportunity becomes over‑subscribed we will close early, so we recommend that you apply as soon as possible. This position is based at our Cardiff office; the selected candidate will be enrolled onto the BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering course at the University of South Wales. Candidates should live within a commutable distance from the Cardiff office and the university campus.

As a paid apprentice, you will gain hands‑on experience working on real‑world projects that make a difference. Alongside your role, you will complete classroom‑based learning – either in person or virtually. Upon completion, you will earn a nationally recognised qualification that leads onto exciting career opportunities. Our Degree Apprenticeships typically last around five years, depending on the course, and are designed to grow you professionally and personally.

You will be part of a team that shapes tomorrow's world – through innovation, sustainability, or community impact.

This opportunity is for our Highways team within the Transportation business unit. Our Highways team excels in delivering comprehensive services throughout the entire project life cycle, from the initial planning and design of new roads to the implementation and maintenance of highway networks. We focus on innovation, cost certainty, and added value, achieved through collaborative efforts with our clients and a strong commitment to continuous improvement.

A Culture of Collaboration and Care:
You will work alongside graduates, experienced professionals, and fellow apprentices in a supportive, inclusive environment where teamwork is celebrated, diversity is valued, and well‑being is prioritised. We believe everyone brings something unique to the table and are committed to helping you thrive. From day one you will be encouraged to ask questions, share ideas, and take ownership of your development.

The more you engage, the more you’ll gain – and the more you'll grow. Your growth and journey: every apprenticeship is different, tailored to the role and team you join. If you are invited to interview, we will discuss the specifics of the opportunity and how it aligns with your interests and aspirations. We support you every step of the way – through mentorship, learning resources, and a culture built on trust, integrity, and care.

Whether you are just starting out or looking to change direction, this is your chance to build a meaningful career with impact.

Why It Matters:
Our work doesn’t just benefit our organisation – it contributes to society. Through your apprenticeship, you will be part of something bigger: helping to solve real challenges, creating sustainable solutions, and building a better future for all.
