Trainee Structural Technician

Trainee Structural Technician – Infrastructure Surveys & Investigations

📍 Coventry | With Travel | Full Training Provided

Looking for a career that's hands-on, varied and gets you out on site instead of behind a desk?

Whether you're starting your career or looking for a new direction, Lucion has an exciting opportunity for a Trainee Structural Technician to join our growing Infrastructure team.

Based from our Coventry office, you'll travel to sites across the UK, working alongside experienced colleagues to carry out surveys and investigations that help keep our roads, bridges and infrastructure safe and performing at their best.

No previous experience in structural investigations? That's okay. If you're enthusiastic, practical and ready to learn, we'll provide the training and support you need to build a rewarding career.

What You'll Be Doing

Every day is different. You'll support a wide range of infrastructure surveys and investigations, including:

• Highway infrastructure inspections
• Structural investigations and condition assessments
• Pavement surveys and testing
• Trial pit surveys
• Pavement and structural coring
• Concrete investigations
• Asbestos surveys within infrastructure environments (full training provided)
• Recording accurate site data and survey findings
• Working safely on live infrastructure projects across the UK

As your skills develop, you'll gain experience using specialist equipment and take on increasing responsibility across a variety of projects.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who's motivated, reliable and enjoys practical, site-based work.

You'll ideally have:

• An interest in construction, infrastructure, engineering or surveying
• A positive attitude and willingness to learn
• Excellent attention to detail
• Good communication and teamwork skills
• A strong commitment to health and safety
• A full UK driving licence
• The flexibility to travel across the UK, including occasional overnight stays

Experience in construction, highways or surveying is beneficial, but it's not essential—we're looking for potential, and we'll provide the technical training.

Training & Development

We'll support you every step of the way with:

• Full on-the-job training
• Ongoing technical development
• Mentoring from experienced Infrastructure specialists
• Training on specialist survey and testing equipment
• Opportunities to gain industry-recognised qualifications

• Ongoing learning and development
• A supportive and collaborative team environment
