Job Introduction

Would you like to work for a company that delivers major UK Infrastructure, while also leaving a legacy in the communities in which it works?

Are you looking to receive a degree whilst gaining practical hands-on experience within the infrastructure sector?

Morgan Sindall Infrastructure delivers some of the UK’s most complex and critical infrastructure across seven core sectors of energy, defence, water, nuclear, highways, rail and aviation for public and private customers. Our people are our business. Through their expertise, we harness innovative ideas and approaches that enable us to safely and responsibly design and deliver resilient infrastructure upon which we all rely.

We’re making a difference by helping the UK to achieve net zero carbon emissions and ensuring energy security in the face of an uncertain world. We put our customers first by challenging the status quo and finding the most efficient solutions to the challenges faced.

We believe that a career isn’t just about the job you do daily; it is about the connections you make, the challenges you overcome, the development you are provided, and, finally, the fun you have. We’ll help you create a career, not just a job.

Technical skills are important, and you’ll develop these along the way, but even more critical to your success here is your ability to work in a team, be open to change, and demonstrate motivation for the sector, our culture, and company values.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits, and an inclusive and fun working environment!
