Your line manager will give you as much support as is available, but you will find yourself working with all members of your team in early stages of your career. You can be appointed a mentor who will be an apprentice in later stages of the scheme for technical advice.

LSBU provide a weekly day release college course where you will learn electrical, mechanical, public health engineering, as well as project management skills to develop you in your role at Skanska. It is also a great place to meet other engineers and build a network of contacts within the industry.

I work in a project management role, so learning MEP engineering helps me understand the projects that I am looking after or assisting in, which will help me make better decisions when quoting work / materials, creating technical submittals, setting contractors to work, and snagging work for defects / issues.

There is many networks that you can get involved with at Skanska, for example: LGBT+, Disability & Careers, Military, Womxn, Mental health, Etc. There are also yearly 'lend a hand' days where you can get involved with local communities to volunteer in activities such as Painting and decorating, charity event, Etc.

Yes

Its a very supportive company for young apprentices looking to break into the construction industry, with a strong development plan from years 1-5 of the scheme, with good opportunities to progress further to Assistant PM and PM roles after the scheme, as well as a competitive pay rate

You will benefit most from the apprenticeship by getting your A levels before joining as an apprentice. This will enable you to begin you L4 HNC or Be Eng in your first year and put you ahead in your career progression.
