At Sir Robert McAlpine, apprentices are already playing a vital role in embedding those skills into live projects.

Our Apprentice Sustainability Managers, Emelie Dillane and Victoria Inglis (pictured, right), are part of a new generation helping to redefine what a career in construction can look like.

Both are gaining hands‑on experience on some of London’s most high‑profile developments, including 1 Broadgate, 2 Finsbury Avenue and the London Museum, alongside their studies.

Emelie and Victoria are demonstrating how combining academic study with real‑world experience can fast‑track both technical expertise and professional confidence. Together, they offer a compelling insight into how apprenticeships are helping to build a more sustainable future for construction.
