For me, I think the best way to transition into such a fast-paced industry is to develop your practical understanding of how things work alongside your academic journey. That way you are equipped with all the required qualifications, and you have also had time to apply this understanding in practice. For any students looking to get into the construction industry, from my experience, an applied, practical approach allows for a smoother transition from school/sixth form into the workplace and is more beneficial in the long term, allowing you to get first hand exposure, and also achieve your academic goals in a well-supported environment.
Assistant Site Manager
Xanthe Davies
I am in my last year of the site management apprenticeship scheme at Weston Homes, I did not have any previous experience in the construction industry. However I always knew I wanted a career in an industry that meant every day was different and I didn't have to sit at a desk all day. I have always loved sports and being outside and around people so this role is perfect for me. There are so many benefits of the trainee programme, including higher education paid for by the company, learning on the job, and many more. For anyone looking to join the trainee programme or apprenticeship scheme at Weston Homes, my advice would be to go for it.

I started my journey with Weston Homes over a year ago as a trainee site manager with little experience of the construction industry. In that time I have had the privilege of meeting a variety of managers, subcontractors across the office and on site. I can honestly say the construction industry is like no other. It is a very dynamic environment that constantly feels refreshing from all the changes we see on a day to day basis. I can't recommend Weston Homes enough as they have provided a fantastic experience for me so far making the job role everything that I could imagine it would be and more.

I am still very early into my career in construction, however Weston Homes have based me in an environment with plenty of knowledgeable mentors throughout my construction journey, by doing so the company has provided me with a base to branch out and develop my understanding of the industry through these people which has heavily impacted my learning and vastly improved me in my job role.
