Further Details:

Over the past 50 years, Wills Bros have steadily and sustainably grown as a leading Civil Engineering Main Contractor with established operations in UK and Ireland and with the capability to deliver ad-hoc services in mainland Europe on a client-by-client basis.

We are experts in the design, construction, and delivery of complex civil engineering projects, with expertise in road and bridge construction, street works, water, sewerage and utilities, flood prevention, marine works, land reclamation, earthworks, wind farms, and enabling works for commercial and industrial clients, as well as significant expertise of data centres, pharmaceuticals, and other highly regulated construction environments.

To support care leavers we will offer:

1. Apprenticeships as they become available at our sites – working directly for Wills Bros or partner companies as part of a shared commitment. The rate of pay will exceed the national minimum for apprenticeships which is due to increase in April. National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage rates – GOV.UK

Wills Bros are keen to ring fence this offer to care leavers and offer an interview to applicants that meet the apprenticeship criteria.

2. Work Experience Placements designed to provide insights into working for the company and the sector. These can be either officed based roles such as administration and design, or working on site with the engineering staff.

3. Employability Support which could include remote on line workshops, mock interviews and an understanding of recruitment processes in the sector.
