Social Value Graduate

Sustainability, Business, Economics.

Build your career. Create a lasting impact.

Are you passionate about making a positive difference to people and communities? Are you a recent graduate, or due to graduate, and looking for a career where you can combine your skills with the opportunity to create meaningful social, economic and community impact?

What's it like to be a Morgan Sindall Infrastructure graduate?
Morgan Sindall Infrastructure graduates talk about their experiences working for us.

At Morgan Sindall Infrastructure, we deliver some of the UK’s most complex and critical infrastructure across energy, defence, water, nuclear, highways, rail and aviation. Alongside delivering infrastructure, we’re committed to creating positive outcomes for the people and communities around our projects.

As a Social Value Graduate, you’ll have the opportunity to turn that commitment into action, developing the skills and experience to help create a positive and lasting legacy.

This isn’t just your first job. It’s the start of a career where you can make a difference.

Join our Energy business

You’ll join our Energy business unit, where we help customers make the most of their existing assets and build significant new infrastructure as part of a major upgrade of the nation’s transmission network. Our Energy specialisms include major projects across overhead lines, substations, and underground cabling.

As these projects are delivered, there are opportunities to create benefits that extend beyond the physical infrastructure itself, from supporting local employment and skills to working with communities, education providers and supply chain partners.

That’s where you come in.

What will you be doing?

Your journey starts where Social Value comes to life: on our projects and within the communities surrounding them.

Working alongside Social Value professionals and wider project teams, you’ll learn how commitments are transformed into meaningful, measurable outcomes.

As your experience grows, you could be:

  • Supporting local employment, skills and education initiatives
  • Engaging with communities and local organisations
  • Helping project teams understand local priorities and opportunities
  • Working with supply chain partners to support Social Value commitments
  • Supporting community investment activities
  • Helping create opportunities through an inclusive supply chain
  • Supporting the delivery of our Responsible Business Model
  • Gathering, analysing and presenting Social Value data
  • Collecting evidence to demonstrate project outcomes and impact
  • Identifying opportunities to continuously improve our approach
  • Working collaboratively with colleagues, customers and stakeholders

You’ll gain hands-on experience of how major infrastructure can create lasting social and economic value, while helping our teams deliver against their project and client commitments.

Your Graduate Programme

We want your graduate experience to give you the foundations for a successful and rewarding career. Your day-to-day experience will be supported by mentoring and a range of personal and professional development opportunities, helping you build your knowledge of Social Value, responsible business and major infrastructure delivery.

Our Graduate Programme offers:

  • Comprehensive development
  • Practical exposure from day one
  • Individual focus
  • Professional recognition
  • Access to an established Early Careers community
  • Support and guidance from experienced colleagues

By the end of the programme, you’ll be well positioned to explore a range of career opportunities within our growing organisation.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for graduates who are curious about the world around them, interested in people and communities, and motivated by the opportunity to create positive change.

You’ll need:

  • A relevant degree at 2:1 or above, which could include social sciences, sustainability, business, economics, community development or another related discipline
  • A genuine interest in Social Value and the positive impact infrastructure can create for people, communities and local economies
  • Strong communication skills and the confidence to work with a range of people
  • The ability to work collaboratively while being comfortable challenging ideas and asking questions
  • An adaptable mindset and positive approach to problem-solving
  • A willingness to learn and take ownership of your development
  • Good organisational and time-management skills
  • The ability to work towards deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • A strong commitment to safety
  • The ability to drive
  • The ability to travel independently to project locations and stay away from home when required
  • Previous experience within construction, infrastructure, community engagement or responsible business would be beneficial, but it isn’t essential.

We’re interested in your potential, attitude and desire to make a difference.
