Construction Materials Technician Apprentice

As an Apprentice Materials Technician for Balfour Beatty, you ll be working as part of a team to construct four new slip roads for the M25 junction 10 roundabout, meaning traffic turning left can pass through the junction easily. The M25 will increase from three to four lanes through the junction, with the A3 also becoming four lanes either side of the junction 10 roundabout.

There will also be improvements to the A245, Sevenhills junction and Painshill roundabout. Around the junction, there will be new and safer routes for pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders. Improvements will also be made to the local environment and wildlife. It is a huge undertaking, and your help is required to make sure the materials being used are up to the task.

What you ll be doing:

• Working alongside other team members, testing the properties of construction materials including concrete, aggregates, and asphalt.
• Improving the performance of existing products, to eliminate faults with materials already in use.
• Helping bring materials testing in the 21st century using new technologies (e.g. Switching over to automated processes, new ergonomic equipment or even new recording and reporting systems.)

Our goal is to train you in many aspects of material testing and quality control. Whether you re interested in a technical or construction career, you ll have the chance to shape your future at Balfour Beatty. Hard work and achievement will be rewarded.
