Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
Highways Maintenance Skilled Operatives will work on rural and urban roads (not including motorways) carrying out the excavating and re-instating of the highway, using hand and power tools and pedestrian plant machinery.
They work as part of a team carrying out the repairs and also individually, when preparing the area for repair. Skilled Operatives must also be able to interpret and work to drawings and specifications when carrying out repairs to the highway.
This work could include repairs to potholes, replacement and reinstatement of pavements and kerbs and laying new surfaces, to ensure roads and pathways are suitable for driving of vehicles or pedestrians to walk safely on.
They also use equipment to locate buried water, gas or sewer lines, and, once identified, excavate by hand around the line to stop any damage and disruption to services.
