Early Careers - Building Futures the Clancy Way

At Clancy we are proud to be one of the UK's largest family owned construction businesses.

We are market leaders and our apprentices and graduates play an important role in helping us to think differently, focus on how we operate and limit the disruption our activities cause, as well as the impact on the environment.

We are always looking to improve, innovate and do things better than we did yesterday and our early careers apprentice and graduate programmes are built to sustain our vision, which is to build a world where all infrastructure is sustainably built and maintained.

We welcome applicants from a variety of backgrounds and experience. You could be completing your GCSEs, A Levels or degree; starting your career journey following school, college or university. You could be leaving the armed forces, returning to work after a career break or looking to change career or industry, either way we would love to hear from you.

Springpod

We have recently partnered with Springpod, who took some time to meet with three of our current apprentices, Alfie a Water Operative within Developer Services for Thames Water, Shauna a Quantity Surveyor studying towards a degree and Jack an Electrical Fitter building sub-station’s for UK Power Networks.

It’s a good way to get into a career and you’re set for life.

We can offer a two-year, role specific programme where you will have the opportunity to gain a broad range of skills and knowledge, enhanced by personal development and technical training.

In addition we will also ensure your child is provided with appropriate pastoral care, outside of their immediate line management framework.
