Apprenticeships at Sutcliffe

A practical route into the built environment

An apprenticeship is a chance to learn while you earn, gaining recognised qualifications alongside hands on experience in a professional consultancy. From day one, you’ll be part of a supportive team, working on real projects and building the skills that matter, from technical capability to confidence and communication.

At Sutcliffe, we combine the expertise of a multi disciplinary business with a close knit, people first culture. You’ll be guided by experienced colleagues, encouraged to ask questions, and supported to progress at a pace that feels right for you.

Supported learning, clear progression

Our apprenticeships are built to be structured, engaging and genuinely rewarding. We work in partnership with highly respected educational institutions, including Liverpool City College, Liverpool John Moores University, and the University of Liverpool, so you can develop your knowledge off the job while applying it straight away in the workplace.

Whether you are aiming for a technical pathway or a professional role, you can expect…

  • Real project exposure across a variety of sectors and locations
  • Mentoring and day to day support from experienced engineers and surveyors
  • A clear development plan that builds your skills step by step
  • A welcoming team environment where you are valued and listened to
  • A long term career pathway with opportunities to keep progressing

“I’ve never felt more supported and valued then during my apprenticeship.”

Starting as an apprentice has been a transformative experience. I have felt supported and valued and Sutcliffe has provided me with incredible opportunities to grow, learn and gain hands-on experience in civil and structural engineering.
