How to apply
Below you will find the apprenticeships we have available this year, where they are located and when you can apply for the apprenticeship roles in each location.
When you location is live, simply click on the apply now button and this will take you to our career portal. From here you can filter by location and find the apprenticeship role you are interested in applying for.
Why don’t you set a reminder in your phone so you can start your application as soon as the apprenticeship you are interested in goes live. Some of our apprenticeships are very popular and we reserve the right to close applications early should we exceed the capacity for any of our advertised apprenticeship roles.
We understand that some candidates may use AI tools for support with their applications. However, it is important for us to get a feel for who you are, as this helps us understand why you're interested in this opportunity. If you choose to use AI assistance, the final response should reflect your own words, ideas, and experiences.
Why choose an apprenticeship with us?
At NG Bailey, we recognise the importance of having apprentices in our workforce. We welcomed our first apprentice in 1934 and continue to train and develop apprentices over 90 years later.
We know the opportunities apprenticeships can create the value they bring to a business, and how they are helping to shape the future of the construction industry. Apprenticeships are open to all, no matter what your age or background, often making an apprenticeship the best option if you’re looking to change your career or upskill your role.
Our industry-leading approach develops the behaviours, skills, knowledge, and experience our apprentices need to build a successful career. We work in partnership with a national network of colleges to offer some of the best training in the industry.
As one of our apprentices, you will be fully supported throughout your programme with us. Our Apprenticeship Development team is there to make sure you get the best out of the business, and the business gets the best out of you.
Our business
Engineering
Our Engineering division specialises in the design, offsite manufacture and installation of mechanical and electrical solutions, delivering projects throughout the built environment for a range of clients.
We have been pioneering the use of Offsite Manufacture for many years and we provide offsite solutions through our specialist production facility in Yorkshire, the largest of its kind in the UK.
The projects we have delivered span various sectors, including nuclear, defence, education, health, commercial, retail, transport, manufacturing, custodial, and leisure.
In your apprenticeship role with us, you could be based on site or at one of our office locations or visiting site as and when needed.
Services
Our Services division is divided into different business units. They all work together to provide technical expertise and assured project delivery to our clients:
- Facilities Services maintains exceptional spaces through mechanical and electrical, planned and reactive, integrated building service maintenance
- IT Services delivers integrated IT infrastructure and managed services that transform what’s possible in connectivity, data management, and analysis
- Freedom advises, designs, connects, builds, maintains, and renews electricity infrastructure assets, to keep homes and businesses across the UK connected.
In your apprenticeship role with us, you could be based on site, working on one of our client’s contracts or visiting different locations in a mobile capacity.
What apprenticeships are available this year?
For 2025, we have apprenticeships available across the business, with roles based as far north as Perth and as far south as Plymouth.
Each of these roles will support either our Engineering division or our Services division, which includes Facilities Services, Freedom and IT Services.
We have over 50 apprenticeship roles available, and they will be released in phases over the coming weeks.

Hints and tips

Meet our apprentices
As an apprentice, your role incorporates a variety of different tasks, activities, and projects, so it’s likely that no two days will be ever the same.
By working with different departments and people across our business, it allows you to gain a better understanding of what we do, develop the skills and qualities relevant to your role, and build key relationships with others.
We’ll let some of our current apprentices tell you more about their daily activities, the advantages of an apprenticeship, why they chose an apprenticeship with us and what advice they would give to applicants:
