About us

Wilson & Scott was founded in 1952 and has grown to be one of the UK's leading Independent Specialist Line Marking, Antiskid Surfacing & Coloured Surfacing contractors throughout the UK.

Our growth is a direct result of our commitment to delivering superior quality, service and value to all our customers and is underpinned via continuous investment in the skills of our staff, material technology and equipment.

Are you ambitious, hardworking and don’t want to be tied to a desk and the indoors?

Earn as you learn to become a fully qualified Road Marking Operative, be part of a dedicated team at Wilson and Scott who pride themselves on delivering quality markings to a high standard nationwide.

Under the supervision and guidance of your manager and your chargehand, combined with study at the RSMA (over 2 years), you will acquire the necessary skills and on-the-job training to achieve an NVQ L2 in Road Marking.

The weekly salary will range up to £600.00 per week (depending on your hourly basic rate, bonus earned and what progress through your training and apprenticeship you've made). You also have the potential to earn more from overtime rates and will be eligible for a host of great benefits. The majority of our apprentices continue to work with us for many years after they qualify.

What will you be doing?

Under the supervision and guidance of our experienced Operatives and Chargehands, combined with online activities, webinars, tutorials, and 4 weeks of in-person classes and practical training at the RSMA in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, you will acquire the skills and on-the-job training to achieve your apprenticeship, like the many Wilson and Scott apprentices who have gone before you.

On a day-to-day basis in this physically demanding role, you will learn and help to prepare vehicles for carrying out road marking operations and assist the crew you work with in preparing and carrying out markings in live traffic environments
