The best part of being an apprentice here at United Infrastructure is the inclusive and friendly environment, where everyone always feels included. My apprenticeship has developed my communication and time management skills and my attitude towards problem-solving. If anyone is looking to do an apprenticeship, United Infrastructure is the place to build your career.

Oliver Thomson

Trainee Office & Field Based Electrician

Starting as an apprentice at 17, I am now 25 and on the path to being a senior delivery manager. My confidence and skills have grown massively in seven years due to the support I have received from senior staff members and colleagues. United Infrastructure is a brilliant company to work for and will support you throughout your career.

Caitlin Bennett

Delivery Manager

One of the best things about being an apprentice is seeing the country and places I didn’t expect to visit. My apprenticeship has also allowed me to grow as a person, which has massively improved my mentality and helped my life outside of work. If you’re looking to do an apprenticeship, I would recommend United Infrastructure.

Beau Sidwell

Trainee Rigger

United Infrastructure supported me during my apprenticeship and then offered me the opportunity to continue my professional development with a CIPD qualification. Throughout school and college, I was sure I would go to university. I am glad that I chose an apprenticeship and would 100% recommend it as a viable career path. You will not look back.

Georgia Milanovitch

HR Representative

My apprenticeship is my first job since leaving college, so I have developed most of the skills needed in a workplace to take forward in life with me, in the office and now in the field. I know how to manage workloads, how to manage work relationships, and how to carry myself in the workplace. It is the perfect place for me to develop and start my working life.
