Bricklaying Apprenticeship (Level 2)

What is a bricklayer?

Bricklayers are one of the most recognisable trades in construction, responsible for creating one of the project’s most essential elements, the structure itself. They work with bricks, pre-cut stone, and concrete blocks to build, repair, and extend a wide range of structures.

They also:

Work precisely from construction plans and specifications
Measure build areas and set out the first courses of bricks
Use hand tools, power tools, and brick-cutting machines
Repair and maintain brick and blockwork
Apply damp-proofing to protect foundations
