When you find a role that’s right for you, click Apply Now. You’ll be asked to create a simple profile and upload your CV and cover letter. Make sure your contact details are up to date so our team can easily get in touch with you.
If your application is shortlisted, one of our experienced recruitment team members will contact you to learn more about you, discuss your career goals, and make sure the opportunity is a good fit.
Next, you’ll be invited to a formal interview. This may be conducted face‑to‑face or online, depending on the role. We may also discuss site safety requirements and any relevant hands‑on experience at this stage.
Before progressing, we’ll complete required pre‑employment checks; reference checks and medical or background checks (depending on the role), to help ensure you have a safe and successful start.
If you’re successful, we’ll be in touch with a formal offer of employment. Your paperwork will be sent digitally, making it easy to review and sign at your convenience.
Once your paperwork is complete, we’ll organise your induction. This includes introducing you to your workplace, team, and ensuring you’re set up and ready for your first day.
Throughout your apprenticeship or traineeship, you’ll be supported by a dedicated mentor and apprenticeship coach. They’ll guide you through your training contract, help you manage your studies, and support your development on the job.
