Building Futures: Apprenticeships & Veteran Careers at SA Scaffolding
Rooted in the Community. Built for the Future. SAS Scaffolding is creating local opportunities through apprenticeships, veteran support, and partnerships with schools and colleges.
Empowering Local Talent Across Berkshire, Hampshire & Reading
At SA Scaffolding, we believe scaffolding is more than a trade — it’s a chance to build a future. We’re tackling the construction labour shortage head-on by investing in young apprentices and supporting ex-Army personnel transitioning to civilian careers. This also contributes to the long term growth and succession planning for the business over the next 10-15 years.
Based in Reading, and serving Berkshire and Hampshire, our goal is to create opportunity and give back to the communities we work in.
CITB and Veteran Employment Support helps our governance in hiring Scaffolding Apprentices
We make use of national and industry-backed schemes to support our apprentice recruitment efforts, and are registered with CITB and follow all best practices to claim funding and deliver quality training.
We’re also looking to work with Veteran Employment Support – Through programs like BuildForce and the Career Transition Partnership (CTP).
