Modern Apprentice - Building Standards

The Opportunity

Begin your career by learning how the buildings around you are created and kept safe. As a Modern Apprentice in our Building Standards team, you’ll be part of a friendly group who check building designs, visit real sites and make sure projects across Angus meet the right standards.

We’ll support you as you develop confidence, gain practical experience and work toward recognised qualifications that can open the door to future careers in Building Standards and Building Surveying.
