Apprenticeship program for women

We are looking for you who want to change career path

We want to inspire more women to start working in the construction industry. Therefore, we offer women, without previous experience in the industry, the opportunity to develop in a practical craft profession together with us.

Your start in your new profession

Digital information meeting

On February 4, 2026, we invited to a digital information meeting about the apprenticeship program for women. During the broadcast, we met former participants and the person responsible for education. We answered questions about the first period as an apprentice, working hours, what it is like to change careers in the middle of life, and much more.

Our roles

Woodworker / carpenter

Within our housing production, we build everything from residences and hotels to large hospitals and community properties. The different stages of construction projects mean that both tasks and focus vary over time as we are involved throughout the entire process, from pouring the foundation slab to the finished building. Depending on the project you work on, your tasks can be varied and include, among other things, installation of doors, building roofs, and assembling walls. If you are curious about being involved throughout the entire construction process, this is the role for you.

Road and construction workers

In our road and construction projects, we build roads, railways, bridges, and tunnels. We create conditions for future housing construction by establishing infrastructure such as road networks, water pipes, power supply, and foundations. Our projects vary in size, from smaller local ones to larger ones with a significant impact on many in the community. This creates opportunities for varied tasks including pipe laying, paving, and road construction.

Answers to our most common questions

You apply to become an apprentice as a carpenter or road and construction worker with us through the ads you find above. In the application, you attach your CV and answer the questions about why you are interested in the construction industry and want to become a carpenter or construction apprentice with us.

After the application period has closed, we make a first selection. If you meet our basic requirements, that is, you are over 18 years old and a woman, you will be invited to take a recruitment test. When you have completed the test, your application is complete.

Candidates who progress are invited to a digital interview. If you advance after the digital interview, the next step is a personal interview together with future colleagues and supervisors at one of our projects. The final step for those who then proceed is a reference check before the final decision.

All applicants will be informed about their application.

If you are accepted, you begin your employment with us. When you have completed your training, you can expect a salary from 38,000 SEK per month (depending on professional category and location) including any allowances that are variable according to the 2025 salary setting under the collective agreement.

Important to remember when you start your employment as an apprentice, you enter at 70% of your salary and then gradually receive more salary as you accumulate more months worked. When, after the basic training period, you have reached 36 months worked and have completed the theory, you rise to 100% of your salary. It is also then that you receive your professional certificate as a carpenter or road and construction worker.
