EC Harris

A different kind of business

At EC Harris, we do things differently. Far removed from a traditional professional services provider in the construction industry, we’re an international consultancy that adds value to the construction and operation of building assets. So what makes us different? We believe it’s the way we create the best results for our clients and the best training ground for our graduates.

Graduate, Year Out, Summer Placement and Day Release opportunities exist across our UK offices. We have 140 positions available in quantity surveying, building surveying, project management, management consultancy, safety, health & environment (SHE) consultancy, facilities management engineering and M&E engineering. Working at EC Harris is an education in itself.

A flying start

You will join a full and comprehensive development programme that is carefully structured to help you pass a relevant professional qualification, normally your Assessment of Professional Competence (APC), in the minimum time frame. But your development won’t stop with a professional qualification; our development programme ensures you are equipped with the technical and professional knowledge to excel in your day-to-day role, as well as developing your soft and people skills to enhance your capability to become one of our leaders of tomorrow.

Who we recruit

Graduates
We recruit graduates from all disciplines who have at least a 2:2 or equivalent, not just those with a surveying/construction-related degree. In our experience, noncognates enrich our environment by bringing us different skills and perspectives. This is why they are treated as favourably as cognates, with financial support to undertake conversion courses and on-the-job coaching to overcome any knowledge gaps.

Year Out, Summer Placement & Day Release students
We also have opportunities for Year Out, Summer Placement and Day Release students who we offer sponsorship for Year Out and Summer Placement students returning to university, as well as payment of course fees for those studying on a Day Release basis.
