The successful candidate will gain experience across the project lifecycle, including mobilisation, design coordination, construction delivery, progress monitoring and digital handover. They will progressively take ownership of defined work packages as their technical knowledge and confidence develop.

As part of the role, you will:

  • Support the setup of project digital systems, common data environments, model collaboration processes, user access, templates and agreed information workflows.

  • Assist with federating, reviewing and coordinating three-dimensional models; record issues, support clash resolution and track actions through to closure.
  • Carry out supervised checks of models, documents and structured data for naming, status, completeness, accuracy and compliance with agreed standards.
  • Provide day-to-day guidance on approved digital tools and workflows, resolving basic user issues and escalating technical problems when required.
  • Prepare guidance, demonstrations and short training sessions, and collect feedback to improve adoption and user experience.
  • Support the use of mobile field tools, reality capture, digital progress records and other approved technologies that connect site activity with project information.
  • Assist teams in collating, validating and organising models, asset information, records and other digital deliverables for staged reviews and final handover.
  • Capture lessons learned, identify inefficient activities and contribute ideas for standardisation, automation and improved digital ways of working.
  • Own the agreed graduate development plan, complete required learning and seek feedback, mentoring and practical project experience.
  • Follow health, safety, quality, information security and data protection requirements when using digital systems and supporting project teams.

This role is available for a September 2027 start, with the possibility of an earlier start date to suit yourself and the business.

In return, we ask for you to be yourself, we're interested in your experiences, motivations and potential, so we encourage applications written in your own voice.

Step 2: Applicants who pass an initial screening stage will be invited to complete a pre-recorded video interview where you will be asked questions that allow you to showcase who you are; these will include self-awareness, curiosity and innovation, and your ability to articulate yourself well.

Step 3: The final stage of our interview process is an assessment centre made up of an individual interview, dynamic group tasks and a meet the team session to answer any questions you may have about the role or team you would be joining.

While we work hard to keep you updated with your application every step of the way, due to the high volume of applications and assessment centres taking place, please be mindful that there may be a delay at some stages in the process.
