Skills an apprentice will learn
- Apply engineering principles to solve engineering problems: scientific, theoretical and technical principles.
- Apply civil engineering techniques, procedures and methods, and review and evaluate the results, including measuring and testing, designing, installing, commissioning, constructing, maintaining or operating civil engineering components and systems; consider how continuous improvement can contribute to improved performance.
- Employ mathematical, statistical and data interpretation tools, using analytical and computational methods, and apply an integrated or systems-based approach.
- Identify, interpret and compare information to select materials, components or parts used in civil engineering.
- Research, collect, select and evaluate technical literature and other sources of data and information to address, analyse and evaluate civil engineering problems.
- Produce civil engineering technical solutions in accordance with relevant industry standards, policies, codes of practice, regulations, and legislation.
- Select and apply computational and analytical techniques to model civil engineering problems, recognising the limitations of the techniques employed.
- Contribute to the design, development and implementation of civil engineering solutions, and evaluate their effectiveness in the context of the whole project life cycle.
- Manage and comply with statutory health, safety and welfare policies, procedures and regulation, and contribute to improvements in health, safety and welfare, within their own area of responsibility.
- Complete risk assessments to identify, evaluate, manage and mitigate risks.
- Apply principles of sustainable development and evaluate their effectiveness on the whole project lifecycle of civil engineering solutions.
- Manage engineering activities that contribute to sustainable development and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
- Apply project management techniques, identifying, measuring, recording and reporting progress against civil engineering project performance criteria.
- Manage quality processes and contribute to quality improvements.
- Plans and manages resources, equipment and technology, to meet project requirements, specifications, costs and budgets and timescales, with an appreciation of statutory and commercial arrangements.
- Monitor and manage individual performance, and the input of others, recognising the need to adapt to, and communicate, changing demands.
- Comply with appropriate codes of practice and equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) requirements.
- Communicate in verbal and written contexts using appropriate methods for the audience. Use appropriate engineering terminology and conventions.
- Apply teamwork and collaboration principles.
- Apply ethical principles, identifying and analysing ethical concerns and making reasoned ethical choices.
- Plan, undertake and review their own professional competence, regularly updating, recording and reviewing their continuing professional development (CPD).
