“Hello, and thank you for taking an interest in the M&J
Apprentice Programme. As one of the UK’s largest
groundworks contractors we are incredibly passionate
about developing the next generation of superstars in
our industry. We created our apprentice programme to
give us an opportunity to train and mentor new people
entering the industry both in the vital skills and knowledge
needed, but also in something we call the “M&J Way”,
which are our guiding principles towards delivering the
highest levels of quality, professionalism and customer
satisfaction.”

Becoming an Apprentice – Traits you’ll need to succeed:

As an M&J apprentice, you’ll be working with leading edge technology in the groundworks and civil engineering space, developing both your practical and theoretical knowledge and skills.

  • Learn about delivering high quality projects and excellent customer service, taking pride in your work as you represent the business.

  • Safety is paramount at M&J. Learn about safe working practices that keep our colleagues and clients safe, no matter the project.

  • You’ll be using your analytical skills as you learn to interpret drawings and design specifications, ensuring all colleagues are on the same page and our clients get exactly what they require.

  • Understand and translate construction and groundworks sites are a hive of activity, with lots of smaller tasks being completed at the same time. As an apprentice, our senior members of the team will demonstrate how to manage the complexities of running a working site, and teach you how to work as effectively as possible.

  • As a part of your apprenticeship, you’ll learn how to work as part of a team across a number of different trades and disciplines, setting strong foundations for a future in the industry.
