About us
Balfour Beatty is a world-class engineering, construction, services and investment business operating in UK and international markets for road, rail and utility systems, buildings and complex structures. We deliver projects on time, within budget and to our customers’ satisfaction – and with the greatest respect for safety, the environment and the communities we work in.
We employ over 40,000 people in 24 countries across four sectors: Building, Building Management and Services; Civil and Specialist Engineering; Rail Engineering; and Investments. Within these sectors we have a number of different Operating Companies, which means our capability extends from initial concepts, through design and construction, to the management and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure.
All this contributes to an impressive £7.5billion annual revenue and a current order book of £12.1billion. But more to the point, the sheer size and scale of this portfolio offers our people an endless stream of challenges and opportunities.
Opportunities
As a graduate, and future senior manager, you could play an essential part in the development of high speed rail links; delivery of the Government’s affordable housing programme; upgrading of electricity, gas and water systems; the construction, management and maintenance of motorways and highways, new schools and hospitals – projects that directly improve the lives of people and their communities. In every case, your skill and energy will be shaping the very fabric of the world around us.
What we’re looking for
We look for graduates who get things done. The type who has a positive, hands-on way of working and relishes responsibility. Initiative is important too, as is an open-minded approach to problem-solving. And with the huge range of people you’ll come into contact with, respect and interpersonal skills will be key. If you’ve got the mix of skills we’re looking for, you’ll excel here.
Training and development
You’ll be encouraged to continue your professional development throughout your career, and with our award-winning training you’ll have every chance to reach your full potential.
Our graduate development schemes combine courses, seminars and varied, practical on-the-job experience with the opportunity to achieve a professional qualification with one of the major engineering institutions (ICE, IMechE, IET, CIBSE), CIOB, RICS or ICES.
Throughout your career, the same experts who have helped us establish an industry-wide reputation for excellence will be the ones that you'll learn from each day. Training may involve moving to different projects, a number of structured placements, or even a secondment to another company. Better still, you'll be supported by an experienced mentor at every stage.
