Balfour Beatty is a world-class engineering,
construction, services and investment business
operating in 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.
Our Activites
We employ over 40,000 people in 24
countries across four sectors: Building,
Building Management and Services; Civil
and Specialist Engineering; Rail Engineering;
and Investments. Within these sectors
we have a number of different Operating
Companies, which means our capability
extends from initial concepts, through design
and construction, to the management and
maintenance of buildings and infrastructure.
All this contributes to an impressive £7.5
billion annual revenue and a current order
book of £12.1 billion. But more to the point,
the sheer size and scale of this portfolio offers
our people an endless stream of challenges
and opportunities.
Our Opportunities
As a graduate, and future senior manager,
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,
new schools and hospitals - projects that
directly improve the lives of people and their
communities. In every case, your skill and
energy will be shaping the very fabric of the
world around us.
Your Development
You'll be encouraged to continue your
professional development throughout your
career, and with our award-winning training
you'll have every chance to reach your full
potential.
Our graduate development schemes combine
courses, seminars and varied, practical onthe-
job experience with the opportunity to
achieve a professional qualification with one
of the major engineering institutions (ICE,
IMechE, IET, CIBSE), CIOB, RICS, or
ICES.
Throughout your career, the same experts
who've helped us establish an industry-wide
reputation for excellence will be the ones
that you'll learn from each day. Training
may involve moving to different projects, a
number of structured placements, or even a
secondment to another company. Better still,
you'll be supported by an experienced mentor
at every stage.
Your Future
We look for graduates who get things done.
The type who has a positive, hands-on way of
working and relishes responsibility. Initiative
is important too, as is an open-minded
approach to problem-solving. And with the
huge range of people you'll come into contact
with, respect and interpersonal skills will be
key. If you've got the mix of skills we're
looking for, you'll excel here.
