If you are enthusiastic, good at working with others, forward thinking and have a passion about working in the built environment, then Kier would like to hear from you. Each year we take graduates onto our structured, two-year, Graduate Development Programme. This provides an opportunity for you to progress, providing you with the tools and experience to quality for membership of your chosen profession. At Kier we want our people to be the best, so we will dedicate the time and resources needed to give you practical on-the-job experience, formal technical and commercial learning, first-line management skills and the professional development you will need to excel. What you need to know THE PROGRAMME All graduates on the programme are supported in their day-to-day work by an on-the-job line manager. They also receive the help of an experienced 'professional body mentor' who helps with the development of goals and to expand the skills required for chartership to a relevant professional body. This support continues at the end of the two years so that you can complete your chartership. OUR REQUIREMENTS Successful candidates will have a fantastic academic record, personal drive and a commitment to working hard. They will have achieved (or be on target to achieve) a minimum 2:2 degree or the European equivalent. WHAT TYPE OF DEGREE DO YOU NEED? Typically, you will need a professionally accredited degree in engineering, design, commercial services, construction management or similar. We also have business management roles in areas such as HR, finance or legal, for which we look for a degree relating to that discipline rather than construction. We offer conversion MSc programmes for those with a 2:1 degree or higher wishing to pursue a career in construction with a degree in subjects such as mathematics, science and business. Relevant industry experience is also be considered for those with a 2:1 degree or above. THE APPLICATION PROCESS You should apply for a specific role online. These are usually advertised in the autumn for the following year. Suitable candidates will be placed on shortlist and will be required to carry out online tests. Final selection is made following assessment centres, including panel interviews and team exercises. If an offer is made this will be made verbally and then followed up in writing. A spotlight on...
