BRE are looking for a number of Apprentices to join our busy Construction Testing Team at BRE on a Level 3 Laboratory Technician Apprenticeship. This Apprenticeship will provide a general background into the skills required in whichever team the successful candidates are appointed into across our Construction teams.

This will give a general background to the skills required in whichever team the successful candidate is appointed to. Training in the technical skills in each team will also be given.
The team works on a large variety of building materials and systems. We have projects that involve testing from microscopic samples, up to full scale mock-ups of built structures and everything in-between so this is an exciting and varied opportunity for you to develop your skills and experience within Construction focused testing and certification.
