Civil Engineering Year in Industry placement

Securing hands-on engineering experience matters

If contributing to the upkeep and planning of complex infrastructure matters to you. You matter to us. Our Civil Engineering placements offer a unique opportunity to learn from industry experts, share your experiences with other placement students, and develop a sought-after skill set that will complement the knowledge you’ve gained from your studies.

With a limited number of placements available, this is your chance to gain a prestigious role that could lead to the offer of a place on our graduate scheme in the future.

Overview

  • You’ll receive a salary of £17,000 pro rata
  • The scheme lasts for one year.

Who you are matters

We look for logical thinkers. People who can find creative solutions to challenging problems. Resourceful and hardworking, you’ll know how to manage your own time to get things done. You’ll be a natural communicator, capable of building relationships with colleagues, suppliers and customers alike. And with the potential for training and development opportunities throughout the country, you’ll be flexible, and comfortable traveling.

What you’ll be doing matters

From delivering management solutions for some of the thousands of complex urban structures we own and operate to establishing maintenance requirements for the banks and cuttings that run through every type of terrain in this country. Every project we’re involved with matters to millions.

Based in one of our major operational centres, you’ll experience our wide-reaching remit and see how we contribute to major engineering projects, undertake structural maintenance, and select sustainable building materials and techniques. What you get involved with will depend on your interests, and where you’re based. But rest assured, there’ll be plenty of opportunity to flex the theoretical knowledge you’ve gained on your university course.

What you’ll get out of it matters

We’re passionate about developing the next generation of talent that will come into our industry, and that means we’ll ensure you’re surrounded by supportive colleagues, and receive coaching from senior staff.

Your benefits matter

  • 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
  • 5 volunteer days to contribute to your favourite causes.
  • Access to our employee assistance program, to help you with any finance, family, health or wellbeing issues you have
  • Up to 75% discount on rail and underground season tickets
  • Discounted online shopping
  • Healthcare club membership discount
  • Childcare vouchers
  • Access to a range of pension and insurance schemes
  • Two weeks paid reserve leave for members of our Armed Forces community.

The opportunities it leads to matter

Do well on your placement, and we’ll consider you for next year’s graduate scheme intake. Many former year in industry students go on to hold senior positions within our company.

The entry requirements matter

You’ll be in your penultimate year at university, and on track to achieve at least a 2:2 in an Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) accredited degree.

We matter to millions. You could too.
