Business Administrator Apprentice & Engineer Apprentice with Quintain and Brent Works
Bursting with New Talent
Wembley Park: "Describe your average day."
Meet the Construction apprentices and some of the team behind the scenes.
Carpentry Apprentice: “Since joining, I have been exposed to a variety of carpentry jobs. My site manager is very helpful and was an apprentice himself so knows the process I’m going through. I can always approach him for advice.”
Quintain’s contractors at Wembley Park are committed to providing over 136 construction apprenticeship opportunities across site. We have delivered 25 apprenticeship opportunities to date, across different trades ranging from carpentry, engineering, business administration, hoist driving and traffic marshalling.
Brickwork Apprentice: “I have really enjoyed my time at Wembley Park so far. I have achieved high marks in two practical tests and building principle tests. I have learned a lot from colleagues and supervisors who are very helpful and encouraging.”
There are over 55 new apprenticeship opportunities coming up over this summer, specialising in bricklaying, electrics, drylining and carpentry. These opportunities are supported by the team at Brent Works who provide a tailor-made service to our contractors to support their upcoming apprenticeship vacancies and local employment offer.
Speaking on his experience working with the apprentice program Contract Manager, said "Our apprentice has been eager and conscientious from our first meeting, organised via Brent Works. His punctuality and attendance have been excellent since starting on site which is the basis for anyone interested in a successful career in construction.”
We caught up with some of Wembley Park's rising talent and here’s what they had to say:
