Luke

Luke Bromley started a civil engineering degree apprenticeship in 2019. The 19-year-old from Spennymoor works four days a week in his role with us and spends one day a week at Teesside University.

Luke's role involves installing traffic signals and refurbishing signals at sites across the county, as well as designing new installations. Although his normal place of work would be County Hall, he has been working from home for the past year through the Coronavirus pandemic.

Luke said: 'I did think about going to university but wasn't sure it was right for me full time and the work experience that I'm currently getting is invaluable. I've had fantastic support from everyone in the team, being made to fit in straight away, and I would love to stay in this role long-term.

"I love getting up every day to do what I do. I am being given more responsibility all the time and thanks to monthly reviews that I have at university, I can see how much progress I'm making so it has been brilliant to see how far I have come already. By designing and installing new signals or helping to repair them, we are helping to keep drivers safe across the county, and it feels really good to know that you have a role in that."
