Joining Breedon means becoming part of a team that values excellence and is committed to making a positive impact. Have you always had that knack for practical, hands-on tasks?

If so, perhaps working as a Technician is your career call. Earn as you learn, combining college study for a SCQF Level 6 MA in Technical Laboratory Skills, with industry experience at the largest independent construction materials group in the UK. Breedon is a home for inquisitive learners. Quarries, cement, and construction are no longer old-fashioned sectors.

  • Flexibility in your working pattern and also when it comes to business needs and change
  • The ability to demonstrate absolute care for our customers, our colleagues, and our business
  • Once qualified you will be expected to have a valid UK driving licence which will be essential for site-based work
What we offer:
  • Being paid to go to college
  • earn as you learn, without having to ‘work the time back’
  • Achieving a Level 6 Apprenticeship over a 2 year period
  • Full company funding of any fees for qualifications and training
  • No need to buy your own kit or any work equipment
  • 40 hours per week, rising to 48 on completion of the 2-year apprenticeship
