Who you are

You’re a self-starter with a strong work ethic. You have an inquisitive nature and are not afraid to challenge the way things are done. You’re able to present and communicate alternative ideas in a clear and confident manner. With strong organisation skills, a cool head and an eye for the detail, you’re able to solve problems with a calm and pragmatic approach. You enjoy working as part of a team and have empathy towards others.

How long is the scheme?

Two years

Where you’ll be based

Opportunities are available across Britain, at locations including London, York, Manchester, Birmingham, Milton Keynes and Glasgow, but it is important to note that you will rotate at least three times during the two years on this scheme, and flexibility regarding the location of each placement is essential.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work as a graduate project manager, exploring commercial, safety, and risk and opportunity management techniques, with exposure across several functions, including Construction, Planning, Strategy, Operations and Estimating. Your strong interpersonal skills will come into their own when you’re building relationships with your stakeholders.

You could be contributing to high-profile projects such as Thameslink, Crossrail or HS2 through preparing presentations, reports, or managing key contracts. You’ll also gain a basic level of knowledge in engineering.

For 18 months of the scheme, you’ll undertake leadership essentials training – a six-module programme to start you on your leadership journey.

What opportunities are available at the end of the scheme?

Why you should choose this scheme

During the first year you’ll have the flexibility to explore foundation project management skills that meet your own interests, as well as gaining a broader appreciation for our industry. Our project managers are highly visible across the organisation so it’s an opportunity for you to really make a name for yourself.
