Your role:
At JBA, our apprenticeships give you the chance to grow your knowledge, build industry-ready skills and begin a long, rewarding career. You’ll earn while you learn, gaining recognised qualifications and practical experience—all with comprehensive support every step of the way.
For our August 2026 intake, we are offering a Civil Engineering BEng degree apprenticeship based at our Glasgow office. Civil Engineer Apprentices play a key role in the delivery of infrastructure projects for flood and coastal management, railways, reservoirs, highways and green engineering. Working with clients and construction teams across the public, private and third sectors.
This apprenticeship combines structured study with hands on workplace training. You'll work with dynamic teams across a variety of projects, benefit from shadowing opportunities with senior staff, and access a wide range of internal and external training, CPD sessions and technical seminars.
Throughout your apprenticeship, you’ll receive dedicated support from across JBA, including:
• Our Apprenticeship Team, who guide your overall journey
• Your Apprentice Line Manager and local team, supporting day-to-day development and helping you stay aligned with your apprenticeship requirements
• A designated Apprentice Buddy to help you settle in and balance study with work life.
In addition, your training provider will provide support through Course Leads, dedicated Workplace Mentors and Apprenticeship Advisors.
Apprenticeship training is fully funded - a key benefit of choosing this route. With no course fees or student debt to worry about, you can focus on developing your skills, building your confidence, and gaining experience you need for your long-term career.
Interviews for those shortlisted will be held between 16 March and 2 April 2026.
