Construction projects underpin the modern world. They provide the places in which we live, work and relax. They connect people and communities. They power our cities, unlock economic growth and enhance lives.

But they are difficult to get right. They can be inefficient and wasteful, often arriving late and over budget. They can tarnish reputations, undermine confidence and destroy trust.

It doesn’t have to be this way. With the right expertise, even the toughest projects can be successful.  This is a 10 week internship from June to August 2027.
