You will spend time in our different departments learning how we procure work, design, plan, and construct buildings for our clients. Once you have completed the departmental rotations you will chose your preferred career pathway and work towards technical and professional qualifications.

We have opportunities to work within our Building Division in our Regions in the North West (covering Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire, Lancashire, Tameside) and Midlands (covering Birmingham, Worcestershire & East Midlands).
