Job Description:

We are looking to hire a Civil Engineering Apprentice to start with us in Manchester (Course start Jan 2027)

About the role

As a Civil Engineering Apprentice, you’ll gain hands‑on experience working alongside experienced engineers on real projects within Highways and Infrastructure design while studying towards a Civil Engineering Degree Apprenticeship.

This is a fantastic opportunity to earn while you learn, develop practical engineering skills, and build a long-term career with a leading engineering consultancy.

We’re looking for motivated, ambitious individuals who are passionate about engineering and enjoy problem‑solving. Civil Engineering relies heavily on mathematics, so strong numerical and analytical skills are essential. This role and course is aimed for a January 2027 start.

Essential Requirements

  • A genuine interest in Civil Engineering and the built environment.
  • Strong mathematical ability and confidence working with numbers, calculations and problem-solving.
  • 104 UCAS points (from qualifications such as A-Levels, BTECs or other recognised Level 3 qualifications).
  • Level 3 qualifications must include Mathematics and a Science-related subject, for example:
    • A-Level Mathematics and Physics
    • BTEC Extended Diploma in Engineering
    • BTEC Extended Diploma in Construction (including additional mathematics and analytical modules).
  • Five GCSEs at Grade 4/C or above, including:
    • Mathematics
    • English Language
    • Science
  • Eligibility to enrol on the Civil Engineering Degree Apprenticeship programme at the University of Greater Manchester.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively within a team.
  • A proactive attitude with a willingness to learn and develop professionally.

Alternative Entry Route

Applicants who have successfully completed a relevant Level 3 Apprenticeship, such as a Civil Engineering Technician Apprenticeship, will also be considered.

Why Maths Matters

Civil engineers use mathematics every day to design infrastructure, analyse data, solve engineering challenges and ensure projects are delivered safely and efficiently. We are therefore particularly interested in applicants who enjoy mathematics and can demonstrate strong numerical and analytical skills through their studies or previous experience.

Ideal Candidate

The successful candidate will be:

  • Curious and eager to learn.
  • Strong at mathematics and logical problem‑solving.
  • Interested in how infrastructure is designed and built.
  • Organised and detail-oriented.
  • Motivated to develop a long-term career in Civil Engineering while studying towards a degree qualification.

Earn while you learn, gain a fully funded degree and build a rewarding career helping to shape the infrastructure of the future with Pell Frischmann.
