Balfour Beatty is a world-class engineering, construction and services group 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.

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 concepts, 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 £10.6 billion, we have an endless stream of challenges to offer.

Opportunities

Balfour Beatty is interested in graduates with plenty of enthusiasm, a real ‘can do' attitude and bags of ambition. You'll be expected to take control of your own future, and right from the start you could be a key member of a project or contract management team.

Most of our opportunities are for graduates (with at least a 2:2) in engineering (civil, electrical, mechanical, building services), construction-related disciplines and quantity surveying/commercial management. We also recruit graduates in to management and business support roles. In addition, with the Company's support, graduates from a wide range of disciplines can complete a conversion course in quantity surveying/commercial management or construction 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, managing facilities and services for clients. And while the technical challenges are obviously important, you should also be looking to develop management skills that your future teams can't fail to notice.

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), 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.
