Each year, we offer a unique opportunity to an aspiring young person to join the J P Chick & Partners Ltd team through our Apprenticeship Programme. Rotating between our Civil, Structural and Environmental teams, we enable the successful candidate to gain practical industry experience and build their professional skillset, whilst studying for an appropriate degree at Anglian Ruskin University.
Over the last few years, we have welcomed Toby Souter into our Civil team, Lewis Calver into our Structural team, and most recently Katherine Carpenter into our Environmental Team. Earning while they learn, they can get ahead in their career working alongside and learning from experienced colleagues whilst gaining a nationally recognised qualification.
Here are a few thoughts from our apprentices –
