The role

Launch your career in construction with our Graduate programme within the Midlands region. Based from our Birmingham office, you'll gain valuable hands-on experience working on exciting construction projects across the West, Central and East Midlands, helping to shape the communities of tomorrow.

Preconstruction Project Management: You will oversee and support projects through the work-winning and preconstruction stages, responsible for developing winning bids and ensuring projects are planned, coordinated, resourced, risk-managed, and contractually secured ready for successful delivery by our site teams.

  • Fast-track progression - a proven route into management, with most trainees stepping into Assistant Management roles upon completion.
  • Real responsibility - you'll support the delivery of live projects.
  • You will be allocated a buddy from day one.
  • Recognition - opportunities to take part in trainee challenges, trainee away days, CITB college and even win our coveted Trainee of the Year.
  • Support professional memberships and accreditations i.e - CIOB, RICS etc.
