2025 Graduate Programme – Consultancy Construction Management – Transport (Rail) – Consult – Birmingham

The opportunity
Start date: Early September 2025
Location: Birmingham
Sector: Transport (Rail)
Engine: Consult
Rail carries an enormous amount of goods and people, creates opportunities and connects families and communities which means different stakeholders needs must be carefully balanced. Our approach, which combines construction and consultancy expertise, provides clients with the technical ability, approach and techniques to allow them to make informed real-time decisions and keep projects on track.
In our ‘Consult’ engine, you’ll join a global team where we work closely with clients to understand their challenges and offer fresh ideas grounded in innovation and sustainability. We provide advisory and project delivery services, guiding clients through every phase of their projects, from initial strategy and planning to execution, ensuring they are delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest standards.
What you’ll do
- Assist the project team in the daily control, management and coordination of construction activities to ensure the project is delivered on time, on budget, and to the required safety, environmental and quality standards. Responsibilities include:
- Producing and monitoring short-term programmes
- Reading programme and design drawings and administering daily progress records
- Contributing to package, coordination, safety and site progress meetings
- Ensuring safe project working practices are adhered to for all site personnel
- Assisting Construction Managers with various elements of the build

You will also work towards gaining professional membership of a professional association, fully funded and supported by us. Options include the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), the Association of Project Management (APM), the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), or the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).
What we can offer you
Our two-year programme offers structured on-the-job training and real responsibility from day one. You’ll work alongside experienced professionals, receive ongoing support from skilled mentors, and gain exposure to various areas of our business.
As well as benefiting from our formal development programme, we offer:
