Balfour Beatty is a world-class engineering, construction and services group operating in the UK and international markets for road, rail and utility systems, buildings, and complex structures. We deliver projects on time, within budget and to our customers’ satisfaction – and with the greatest respect for safety, the environment and the communities we work in.
We employ over 30,000 people in 24 countries across four sectors – building, building management and services; civil and specialist engineering; rail engineering; investments and developments – enabling teams to work right across the supply chain: from initial concept, through design and construction, to the management and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure.
With an impressive £5.9 billion annual turnover and a current order book of £9.1 billion, we have an endless stream of challenges to offer.
Opportunities
Most of our opportunities are for graduates (with at least a 2.2) in civil engineering, building/construction management, quantity surveying/commercial management, electrical and mechanical engineering, and business/management.
Graduates get involved with a variety of aspects including design, project/contract management, asset management, commercial management, winning work through proposals and tenders, procurement of suppliers and sub-contractors, and managing facilities and services for clients.
As a graduate and future senior manager at Balfour Beatty you could play an essential part in the development of high speed rail links; delivery of the Government’s affordable housing programme; upgrading of electricity, gas and water systems; the construction, management and maintenance of motorways and highways; or the construction and operation of new schools and hospitals – projects that directly improve the lives of people and their communities.
Training and development
Our graduate development schemes give you the ideal foundation for your career; combining courses, seminars and varied, practical on-the-job experience with the opportunity to achieve a professional qualification with one of the major engineering institutions (ICE, IMechE, IET, CIBSE), the CIOB, RICS or ICES and are structured in line with the institutions’ guidelines.
Secondments and attachments may also feature in your development and experienced managers are there to offer advice and guidance on how to make the most of the opportunities available to you and achieve your personal goals.
