About Us

As a leading construction company, we take our role in society seriously, working to improve the UK’s built environment and delivering lasting change for the communities we work in.

Our Graduate Programme - Programme
Hear what our people have to say about our graduate programme.

Our purpose is to improve people’s lives by building the facilities and infrastructure that communities need; providing opportunities for our people to learn, grow and progress; working with our supply chain to promote the very best working practices and caring for the environment in which we work.

We believe success comes from our people, so we create a culture at Galliford Try in which you can thrive, ensuring we nurture an environment where you feel welcomed, valued and included so you are enabled to achieve your potential whatever your background. 

In Scotland, you’ll know us as Morrison Construction, and across the UK, we have an exceptional portfolio of landmark projects.

The best of both worlds

While we love a hard hat and high-viz vest, there’s more to us than PPE. We are at the cutting-edge of digitalisation, using robots, AI and Modern Methods of Construction to deliver the future of the UK. And if a career on site isn’t for you, you could join one of our many professions including HR, Carbon, Data Analytics, Bid Management, Systems Development, Finance or Social Value. 

Work for the #1 Grad Employer for Construction & Civil Engineering

We’ve been voted the best place for graduates in construction and civil engineering across the UK, and our award-winning Graduate Programme is designed to give you a rich, hands-on experience where you will develop your technical skills, grow your network and gain professional qualifications if you want to.

Work with some of the best people in the industry in a full-time role, as you start an exciting and rewarding career where you will be enabled to add value to society. 

The programme lasts for two years and runs in parallel to your permanent job, with six modules including our much enjoyed Module 4, a teambuilding event in the great outdoors designed to bring out your interpersonal and leadership skills, and complement the hands-on technical experience that you will gain in your role.

If you decide to work towards professional qualifications, we will fully fund your qualification and pair you with a dedicated mentor. You will also have access to the GT Academy, an online portal that will aid your professional development both while on the Graduate Programme and onwards in your career.

Our programme culminates with a celebration of you and a promotion within your role to start the next stage of your career. 

Top Apprentice Employer

As well as being top for grads, we’re proud to have been voted second in TheJobCrowd’s list of Top Construction and Civil Engineering Companies for Apprentices, and we came 24th for apprentices across all sectors, out of over 600 UK companies.
