Construction Engineer Training Programme

We've launched a major engineering programme to renew the UK's network of gas pipelines. Training you to lead projects and teams, you'll undertake formal and hands-on training covering both technical and management issues, gaining qualifications and confidence along the way.

Our Construction Engineers come from all sorts of backgrounds, so we're quite flexible, but we look for people who are motivated to gain new skills.

We specifically look for people with the following qualifications:

A) 5 GCSEs  

  • You must have Maths and English Language minimum of Grade C GCSE.
  • Plus one from technical subject areas - IT, Technical Drawing, Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Science or any other Engineering subject. (minimum of Grade C GCSE)
  • Plus two additional GCSEs in IT, Technical Drawing, Engineering (or any other Engineering subject), Science, English Literature, Geography or History. (minimum of Grade C GCSE)

B) Engineering Diploma Higher level (Grade A - C) WITH GCSE Maths (Grade A - C) and English Language (Grade A - C).

Whatever your background, you'll need the ability - or potential - to manage others, to organise your time, and to solve technical problems. As our projects are based across the UK, you'll also need a full driving licence (we provide the car!).
