Make a difference

Would you like the opportunity to work on exciting, varied and innovative projects?

We give our graduates the responsibility and development to make a difference to the UK’s communities and infrastructure right from the word ‘go’.

Working with us

We have opportunities all over the UK across Construction and Infrastructure. Graduates join from a variety of backgrounds as well as more traditional routes.

We believe that technical skills are important; but even more critical to your success here is the ability to work in a team, be open to change and demonstrate motivation for the sector. Routes we support include:

  • Civil and structural engineering
  • Mechanical and Electrical engineering
  • Safety, Health, Environment and Quality
  • Site management
  • Quantity surveying
  • Design management 

We offer a competitive salary and benefits, an ILM accredited 27 month development programme and an inclusive and fun working environment!

'I feel valued as a graduate.'

Lucy Manners, Graduate Site Engineer

The variety of placements that Morgan Sindall offers meant that I was able to experience a number of different sectors, developing a range of transferrable skills each summer.

The graduate scheme is particularly well structured, with modules to develop both professional and technical skills. I feel valued as a graduate and look forward to furthering my career with Morgan Sindall in the future.

Alex Hall

'The people I work with are knowledgeable and very friendly.'

Alex Hall, Graduate Planner

I studied business management and economics at university. After I graduated I wasn’t sure in which direction I wanted to take my career, but the job centre put me in touch with the head of design management here. I completed a couple of temporary placements and clearly made my mark as I was asked to stay on permanently.

I’m not from a construction background but my line manager and colleagues in the site team have all been really supportive, sharing their knowledge to bring me up to speed. The people I work with are knowledgeable, very friendly and hugely motivated.

During your time with us you’ll do real work, learning from an experienced mentor on a structured programme of development. Our programmes are regularly updated based on feedback we get from the people who take part – which means they’re tailored to make sure you get the maximum value.

Sponsorship
We currently partner with Loughborough University and the ICE QUEST scheme to offer sponsorship from your first year of studies. If you’ve completed a placement, you can apply for sponsorship at the end.

Top-up
As a growing business, we normally have opportunities outside of those reserved for our sponsored students in a variety of routes. Specific routes are advertised on our job board from October – November but you can express an interest in our Graduate programme year round.

ICE QUEST scholarships

We take part in the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) QUEST scheme to sponsor engineering students through their degrees and provide paid summer placements and potential full time roles on graduation. Since 2007 we've proudly partnered with ICE to deliver QUEST, supporting more than 100 students. If you're interested please view our placement video.
