CONSTRUCTION AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
PERSIMMON HOMES
“Persimmon is one of the largest housebuilders in the UK, with operations spanning England, Scotland, and Wales. At present, the company boasts approximately 350 apprentices nationwide, over 50 of whom are actively engaged on sites in the North West and Lancashire. Preston College has enjoyed a close relationship with Persimmon for many years and together we are currently training 11 apprentices in a variety of roles including: Level 2 Bricklayers, Level 2 and Level 3 Site Carpenters, a Level 4 Site Supervisor, and a Level 4 Civil Engineer. We are also proud to have two Level 4 Quantity Surveyors and two Level 3 Site Carpenters recently complete their qualifications. Many Persimmon apprentices have progressed to roles such as site managers, head of departments and directors within the company, a testament to the opportunities they provide. Given the pressing demand for new housing across the country, the housebuilding sector presents a wide range of exciting prospects for young individuals. From bricklaying and plastering to joinery and decorating, careers in housebuilding offer diverse pathways with competitive salaries. Persimmon has a dedicated team of apprentice managers who are always happy to discuss the many roles that housebuilding has to offer.”
