Accepting applications for 2025/26 intake!
As a Dodd Group apprentice, you’ll be welcomed into a supportive and close-knit team where your growth and success truly matter. Start your career with us and build a future in a company that treats you like family
The value of preserving and building upon the legacy and traditions of the family and the business is fundamental to Dodd Group.
We are passionate about providing opportunities for the next generation and are committed to maintaining a steady flow of new talent through our apprenticeship programme.
Our application process opens in January each year and runs until the 7th of April, after which we evaluate applications and invite selected candidates to attend a regional selection day in May or June.
(Assessment day consists of short numerical and literacy test, general electrical / mechanical test). After a final interview, successful candidates begin their Apprenticeship in September subject to acceptance by their Training Provider.
Gain hands-on experience from day one, working on meaningful projects across key sectors like housing, education, defence, and healthcare, building practical skills that last a lifetime.
You're not just an apprentice — you’re part of the team. With experienced mentors, structured development plans, and recognised qualifications, we’ll help you grow with confidence and purpose.
Many of our apprentices go on to build lasting careers with us. With clear progression routes, ongoing training, and national-scale projects, your future at Dodd Group is what you make of it.
As an apprentice with Dodd Group, you will be appointed a long-term mentor. Your mentor will remain in touch with you for the duration of your apprenticeship. They will be on hand to provide advice, support and assistance as required.
Dodd Group can offer a rich and diverse experience as we operate across multiple sectors. Some apprenticeships will incorporate a 3-month rotation on different contracts to enable you to experience different sites and work styles. At the end of each rotation, you will have a written touchdown review to confirm and validate learning and highlight strengths and weaknesses and a ‘handover’ meeting to your next site. Alternatively, you may opt for a permanent site-based apprenticeship working on a single project for the duration of your apprenticeship or an office based apprenticeship. Whichever route you choose, you’ll be rewarded with the best start in our exciting industry.

They like to build from within, which is nice to know when you’re in a junior role, you can clearly see the steps you can take.”
