The graduate programme offers the chance to personally drive improvements and successful delivery at the forefront of key sectors including infrastructure, central & local government, health, education, energy and natural resources, commercial development, datacentres, manufacturing and logistics, offices, life sciences and defence.
You will be working in a fast-paced environment where you could be responsible for overall project delivery, delivering client commitments, developing project documentation, project schedules, reporting on project progress and managing contractual processes such as procurement, risk, change and governance.
You will have the opportunity to experience projects, programmes and portfolios at different stages in the lifecycle. Roles may vary between construction delivery, digital services, project and programme management, front-end business case advisory, risk management, or project controls.
