As a Civil Engineering Technician, you will be responsible for providing technical support to engineers and construction professionals as you work and collaborate in the design, development, construction, commissioning, decommissioning, operation or maintenance of built environments and infrastructure projects. You will develop high levels of skill in areas which include sustainable construction, structural integrity, geotechnics, materials, tunnelling, marine and coastal engineering, water, waste management, flood management, transportation and power.
Acquiring highly specialised and technical skills as a Civil Engineering Technician, you will become adept at scoping project delivery plans, producing models, reports and calculations to aid effective project implementation. You will contribute to the effective delivery of live infrastructure projects, managing work schedules, budgets and deadlines, whilst ensuring outputs comply with industry specifications and standards.
Upon completion of this apprenticeship, you will be able to register with the Engineering Council as an Engineering Technician.
This apprenticeship standard covers the core skills, knowledge and behaviours to demonstrate competency of a Civil Engineering Technician and covers key requirements to include:
You will develop your skills, knowledge and behaviours through on and off-the-job training and are expected to attend our specialist Civil Engineering Training Centre (CETC) on a day release basis.
You will need to have relevant employment, and entry is subject to interview and assessment.
GCSE English and maths grade 4/C or above (or Level 2 functional skills) are preferred.
Completion of the Civil Engineering Technician Apprenticeship offers a wide range of progression opportunities to more seniorpositions that include Civil Engineer, Constuction Quantity Surveyor or Chartered Surveyor.
Your progress will be continuously monitored and supported by a Professional Trainer.
Depending on the standard, we assess your competence through various methods, such as practical exams, assignments, interviews, project work, presentations or observations and we will also evaluate your portfolio of evidence, which documents your learning and progress throughout your apprenticeship with us.
The apprenticeship end-point assessment is the final evaluation stage of your apprenticeship programme. It's designed to determine whether you have achieved the knowledge, skills, and behaviours required to meet the apprenticeship standard and perform the job role independently.
Successful completion of the end-point assessment is required to receive certification.
