Fairgrove are keen to invest in the future of the construction industry and have opened our application process for a series of new apprenticeships for 2022.
After a few years off we are once again running our popular apprenticeship scheme which in the past has provided exciting opportunities for 16 – 18-year-olds across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. This year the vacancies include craft apprenticeships in Bricklaying, Joinery, and Painting and Decorating as well as an office-based Construction Support Technician, which is a new role we are offering this year for the first time.
The craft apprenticeships will be based on our sites in Kimberley and Swanwick and training details will be discussed upon successful interviews. The Construction Support Technician apprentice will be based at our Head Office in Kimberley, Nottinghamshire, and will be working alongside our Site managers and technical assistant.
All successful applicants will be interviewed in June and we look to onboard new starters in September.
At Fairgrove, we believe in investing in the next generation of construction industry workers and are fully committed to supporting school leavers through their apprenticeship training which offers industry-recognised qualifications, real-world experience, and real jobs at the end with no cost to the applicant or their parents.
Applications are open on our website (www.fairgrove.co.uk) for both male and female school leavers to join the 2022 cohort and we are very excited to re-launch our apprenticeship scheme. To find out more information visit www.fairgrove.co.uk/careers or alternatively email careers@fairgrove.co.uk

We recognise that our operations have a direct impact on the environment, therefore we endeavour to work with suppliers, customers, Local Authorities and other agencies to preserve and enhance the environment for all generations. Consequently, we are committed to:
Reducing the environmental impact
of our products through the use of improved layout, design, and specification, while complying with all applicable environmental legislation, regulations and standards.
Improving efficiency
in the use of land, energy, water and raw materials.
Taking positive action
to minimise waste and encourage recycling wherever possible.
Implementing training programmes
Increasing awareness of environmental issues for office and site-based staff.
Undertaking an annual review
of the company’s environmental policy in order to allow challenging targets to be set, ahead of government legislation.
Defining quality as opposed to specification
Quality is about how well we build; how level and flat surfaces are, how perfect the plastering is, and how everything works. Whether you’re buying your first starter home or a bespoke mansion, the quality of every Fairgrove new build will be of the same high standard.
Specification, on the other hand, is about the standard of the fittings, and may also include the quantity of TV and telephone points or home networking. Specification will vary considerably with the price and possibly location of your new home.
Setting higher standards of quality
All new homes are built to National Standards including Building Regulations and either NHBC or an alternative warranty provider’s requirements.
At Fairgrove we build to a very high quality level which we set as at least 10% better than NHBC Standards. The designs of the homes we build are constantly being updated to incorporate the latest national requirements – including energy-efficiency.
Specification choices – save or spend
Specification – ie the type and quantity of fittings we include in a new home – will vary from site to site and from house type to house type.
Generally the more expensive the house, the higher the specification. This can be just as much about style and design as about the quality of those fittings. If we are building you a Custom Build home, this is the area where you can either save money or completely go to town!
