We are looking for graduates to join our Local Government and Liveable Places teams in 2027. This is an opportunity to work in a leading professional services consultancy, supporting local authorities, public sector organisations and communities to deliver positive change.
As a Graduate in our Local Government and Liveable Places teams, you will help shape sustainable, inclusive communities across the UK. Working with local authorities and public and private sector clients, you will contribute to projects spanning transport, regeneration, community infrastructure and climate resilience, helping to create places where people can live, work and connect.
You will work in multidisciplinary teams, collaborating with engineers, planners and transport specialists to develop innovative solutions. Through research, analysis, stakeholder engagement and project delivery, you will gain insight into policies, strategies and investment decisions shaping towns, cities and rural communities, while building your skills and taking on more responsibility as you develop.
As we work in partnership with local councils in our Local Government team – North Yorkshire Council, Leeds City Council, Lincolnshire County Council, Gloucestershire County Council, Norfolk County Council, Exeter City Council, Rhondda Cynon Taf Council, Merthyr Tydfil Council and Bridgend Council - we are unable to offer flexibility on the above locations.
Our two-year Graduate Development Programme is designed to help you build the skills, experience and professional network needed to thrive at the start of your career with us. Through a blend of structured learning, mentoring and hands-on project experience, you will be supported every step of the way.
