Trainee Structural Technician

Trainee Structural Technician – Infrastructure Surveys & Investigations

📍 Rotherham | with Travel | Full Training Provided

Love being out and about rather than behind a desk? Curious about how roads, bridges and structures are built and maintained? Looking for a career where every day is different?

If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

Lucion is looking for a Trainee Structural Technician to join our growing Infrastructure team. This is a fantastic opportunity to start a hands-on career with a company that invests in your development from day one.

Based in Rotherham, you'll travel across the UK, working alongside experienced colleagues to carry out surveys and investigations that help keep our highways and infrastructure safe, compliant and performing at their best.

No previous experience in structural investigations? No problem. If you've got the right attitude, enjoy practical work and are keen to learn, we'll provide all the training you need.

What You'll Be Doing

No two days are the same. You'll be involved in a variety of site-based activities, including:

* Inspecting highways and infrastructure

* Assisting with structural investigations and condition assessments

* Carrying out pavement surveys and testing

* Trial pit surveys

* Pavement and structural coring

* Concrete investigations

* Supporting asbestos surveys within infrastructure environments (full training provided)

* Recording accurate site data and survey findings

* Working safely on live infrastructure projects across the UK

You'll learn from experienced technicians, develop specialist skills and gradually take on more responsibility as your confidence grows.

What We're Looking For

We're more interested in your attitude than your experience.

You'll be someone who:

* Enjoys practical, hands-on work

* Likes working outdoors rather than being office-based every day

* Has great attention to detail

* Is keen to learn new skills and build a long-term career

* Works well as part of a team

* Takes pride in doing a job properly

* Has a strong focus on health and safety

* Holds a full UK driving licence

* Is happy to travel across the UK, including occasional overnight stays

Experience in construction, highways, surveying or engineering is a bonus—but it's certainly not essential.

What's In It For You?

We'll give you everything you need to succeed, including:

* Full training from experienced specialists

* Ongoing technical development

* The opportunity to work with industry-leading survey equipment

* Clear career progression opportunities

* Support to gain industry-recognised qualifications

Our Benefits

* Competitive salary with annual salary reviews

* Healthcare Cash Plan

* Enhanced family leave

* Option to buy additional annual leave

* Techscheme vouchers

* Ongoing learning and development

* Friendly, supportive team environment
