Graham has welcomed new talent to its civil engineering graduate programme, the scheme is a mix of technical, personal, and management style development
An official launch day, hosted virtually at the end of last year, signalling the start of the structured two-year programme for 22 new recruits who recently graduated from a variety of leading universities spread across the UK.
They were selected from a strong pool of over 300 applicants.
This year’s event was hosted online, with the interactive session providing the graduates with an insight into how they can fast track their careers with one of the civil engineering contractors.
The civil engineering graduate programme is part of the Graham Academy, which is an in-house world-class training and development centre.
Each of the participants will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from their degree courses on a range of Graham’s civil engineering projects.
Projects include:
- Crossrail station upgrades for Network Rail
- Northern Ireland Water
- Port of Dundee
- Major improvement works for Highways England
Tools to ‘grow and become future leaders at Graham’
Graham, managing director – civil engineering, Leo Martin, said: “Of course, we have faced considerable challenges presented by the pandemic over the past year, but I was more determined than ever to recruit a similar number of graduates as we normally do. And Covid-19 has not knocked us off course in this regard.
“That also goes for the content and delivery of the programme, which will be as engaging, practically based, and interactive as always.
“As one of the first companies in the UK to be accredited Platinum by Investors in People, we believe that nurturing and investing in the next generation of talent is crucial for the long-term success and sustainability of Graham.
“That is why I am committed to giving young people opportunities, especially when so many avenues to employment are being closed to them. I am looking forward to working with, and learning from, this talented batch of graduates now and into the future.”
