Study can be undertaken on a part-time or placement basis; the route you will follow will be determined during initial discussions with the company.

Part-time Study
You will split your time between academic and theoretical study at college/university and practical experience on site or in an office. The costs of the course will be met by the company and full support will be offered both in your studies and in developing your skills.

Placement
Typically you will either be studying full-time at college or university looking to apply some of your theoretical knowledge to real working life during the summer and/or a year out. In some circumstances there may be the potential for sponsorship.

A career in construction is challenging and rewarding. You have the chance to shape the future leaving a legacy to be proud of for generations to come. As an exceptional individual we are seeking talented people like you.

There are plenty of opportunities to experience a wide range of different projects; all you need to do is bring along your enthusiasm and we will give you all the support you need to build a great future with us.
