Degree Apprenticeship – Trainee Site Manager

Here at Willmott Dixon Interiors, we are currently recruiting for our degree apprenticeship roles on our Management Trainee scheme to start with us in September 2025. We have a vacancy for a Trainee Site Manager to join our Interiors tea. Our main office is in Central London (opposite the Old Bailey) although as an operational trainee much of your training will be project based.

As a Trainee Site Manager, you will be directly involved in construction management and site operations. You will be working with our team to plan and manage the construction processes on-site to ensure that our projects are delivered to our customers defect free, completed safely, on time and on budget.

We welcome all applications, but for this role we have an emphasis on candidates with A-Level, BTEC, T-Level and HNC qualifications, along with a passion for a career in construction. Our programme will give you a great foundation; you will get exposure to all areas of our business to develop your understanding of the construction business as a whole, not just your chosen discipline. We will provide you with all the support you require to study for a relevant degree qualification whilst you are gaining valuable, hands-on experience on our construction projects.

Our highly regarded management trainee programme has successfully been running for over 40 years; many of our past management trainees are now in senior managerial roles or sit on the main board! This is a structured, proven route to a management role in one of the most forward-thinking construction companies in the UK.

Sound like you... If you are looking to accelerate in a business that nurtures your talent, then we would love to hear from you.

On successful completion of the programme, you will be promoted into an assistant manager level role within your chosen discipline and will have likely completed a construction management degree.

As a Management Trainee you will receive:

• Competitive Salary


• Motor Expenditure Allowance


• Incentive Scheme


• Pension


• Laptop


• Training


• Book Allowance


• Day release to study (where applicable)


• Pay for your college/university/vocational study fees (if applicable)


• Study leave (where applicable)


• Travel Expenses


• Mobile phone
