The opportunities we have available varies each year, depending on our requirements. For current opportunities see the Apprenticeship and Traineeship page on our website.

Your apprenticeship or traineeship will be hands-on from day one! You’ll join a team, working alongside experienced professionals to build your skills and confidence. You’ll also get the chance to work with other teams, helping you see the bigger picture of how the organisation runs.

You’ll get all the training and certifications you need to do the job, plus plenty of opportunities to learn through real work experience and taught sessions. On top of that, you’ll be working towards your Modern Apprenticeship qualification, which could be done in-house or at college—depending on your program.

This depends on the role – within KR Group we offer a variety of apprenticeship and traineeship options and the qualifications gained would be outlined in the role profile.

Nope! There’s no single path to starting your career. There are loads of ways to gain qualifications, build skills, and get where you want to be. The best option for you will depend on the career you’re aiming for.

It depends on a few things, but we offer a competitive pay package. Your salary will be in line with the National Minimum Wage.

Yes, again this is dependent on a number of factors but we regularly review pay rates for all our employees, in line with performance.

Your Modern Apprenticeship, and any training required for your role, would be fully funded.

It depends on the apprenticeship, but most programs last around two years.

It’s usually a mix! Most of your learning will happen on the job, but you might also need to attend training sessions. If your apprenticeship includes college, there will likely be some theory work as part of your qualification.

We would be here to support you every step of the way – from your mentor/supervisor, to other members of the team with apprenticeship experience. You won’t be left alone to struggle through.

We carry out Annual Reviews with all our staff where we agree key objectives and a development plan.

It depends on your apprenticeship or traineeship! If you’re in a site-based role, you’ll mostly be working on-site. If you’re in a workshop or office apprenticeship, you’ll be based at our headquarters in Newburgh, Aberdeenshire.

If you have a car, that’s great! If not, and you’re based at our Newburgh headquarters, there are bus links from Aberdeen and Peterhead.  If you are site-based, and don’t have transportation, we can make arrangements depending on where you live (e.g. van share) 

It depends on the apprenticeship or traineeship, but there are often no formal entry requirements. We’re looking for a good track record at school and a genuine interest in the construction industry!

We keep the application process simple! For our current apprenticeship and traineeship opportunities, you just fill out this application form. After that, we’ll guide you through the next steps of our recruitment process. If you’re shortlisted, this might include an interview or assessment, depending on the role.

You won’t have to worry about paying for PPE—we provide it for you, as required by law. We’ll also make sure you have access to all the tools and equipment you need to do your job.

This depends on the apprenticeship or traineeship, but typically our roles are 37.5 to 40 hours per week

From day one, we’ve got your back! Our induction process will help you settle in, and we’ll continue to support you throughout your time at KR Group. It’s our job to help you grow and succeed. As part of our modern apprenticeship program, we’ll make sure you gain the skills you need to thrive in your role.

Totally depends on the role you’ve chosen. Our office and workshop teams primarily work indoors, while our site teams are often working outdoors, sometimes in harsh conditions. We ensure all team members working outdoors are fully-equipped with warm PPE.

Health and safety are a top priority in our industry. We’ll make sure you get all the training, support, and supervision you need to work safely. You’ll also have full access to the necessary safety gear, including PPE.
