The Opportunity

This is a fantastic opportunity to begin your career as a Road Surfacing Apprentice, joining a team responsible for delivering high-quality surfacing and resurfacing work across a regional road network. Road Surfacing Operatives play a vital role in maintaining the country's infrastructure, and in this hands-on role you will help keep roads safe, durable and fit for the future.


You'll be based across a region site, working outdoors as part of an experienced surfacing team who will support you as you learn how roads are planned, prepared, surfaced and finished. You'll gain experience operating specialist machinery, preparing surfaces, laying asphalt, inspecting completed work and understanding the techniques that keep roads performing to the highest standards.

You'll spend most of your time learning on the job, taking part in daily tasks and gradually building the confidence to operate tools, support machinery, follow technical drawings and contribute to the safe and productive running of the team. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys practical work, being outdoors, working in a team and seeing a project come together from start to finish. Your curiosity, willingness to get involved and ability to stay focused will help you progress quickly. You will gain real industry experience, a recognised qualification and the chance to build a long term career in a growing sector. You'll learn how we maintain high standards in safety, quality and environmental performance while ensuring we produce and deliver the right materials to our customers.


Who you are

You are someone who enjoys practical work, is motivated by problem solving and has a genuine interest in how machines and systems operate. You are naturally curious and like asking questions so you can learn and improve. You feel confident following clear processes and instructions, especially when it comes to safety, and you understand the importance of keeping yourself and others safe at work. Most importantly, you are motivated, eager to learn and ready to build a long term career.

We are committed to building a diverse environment and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. You will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, disability or age.
