Concrete

Concrete professionals create, make and install precast or form structures using concrete. They play a vital role – concrete is used in almost all areas of the building and construction industry.

Concrete manufacture

You'll use concrete to make precast concrete products like pipes, tanks, cement blocks, panels and beams. You could work in a factory environment, or on a job site installing the products you’ve created.

Concrete production

You'll use special equipment to take raw ingredients and make concrete to product specifications. Then you'll deliver it to where it's needed. You'll have strong technical knowledge and will work directly with clients and other tradespeople.

Concrete construction

You'll use concrete to lay foundations and create large structures like high-rise buildings, shopping centres, stadiums and bridges. You could also install precast concrete products. Concrete construction specialists are the builders of the concrete world.

Working with concrete isn't just a job – it's a professional career. By doing an apprenticeship and getting qualified, you're setting yourself up for ongoing employment as a well-paid tradesperson. You’ll also open up opportunities to do further study in supervision or site management, go to university, or start a business and train your own apprentices.
