Apprentices for ESCC Highways

May Gurney, who works with East Sussex County Council as part of the East Sussex Highways partnership, are offering four General Construction Apprenticeships to work with its Reactive Maintenance and Schemes Teams, and one to work in their Sign Shop at Ringmer.

The apprentices will be working with, and learning from, Highways staff as they design and implement schemes to repair and improve the roads and pavements in East Sussex and make sure they are safe.

A spokesman for East Sussex County Council said, "An apprenticeship is a great way to get qualified while gaining experience, training, and being paid a wage. It involves being trained by experts in their field, while at the same time building your knowledge and experience, both on site and in college."

Liz Sugden, May Gurney's Starting Out Officer is handling the recruitment process which will include a local assessment day in July. Liz says "We are committed to investing in our local communities through our well established apprenticeship programme and are working with our local training provider, Sussex Downs College, to develop courses for the scheme. This will give the recruits the option to study either locally or at the national CITB construction college at Bircham Newton in Norfolk."
