Putting your degree into action
Congratulations! You’ve completed your degree but what now? Reaching the end of your time at university is an important point in your career, and a graduate scheme at Kier could be a great next step for you.
Each year, we take on candidates onto our structured graduate development programme, providing the opportunity, experience and tools you need for progression within your chosen career.
What is a graduate scheme?
Once you’ve completed your degree, you can join one of our graduate schemes which is a structured training programme, designed to support you in your career goals.
It runs for 2-3 years and we will dedicate the time and resources needed for you to excel, including on-the-job experience, formal technical and commercial learning and develop your line management skills.
All graduates on the programme will be supported not only by their line manager but will also receive an experienced professional body mentor who will help with the development of goals and gaining chartership to a relevant professional body.
What are the requirements?
We have no grade requirements but generally we ask for your degree to be related to the graduate scheme you are looking to join.
However, we are big believers in finding potential, regardless of qualifications. So if your degree isn’t directly relevant to your role, but you can demonstrate transferable skills, we can look to enrol you onto an upskill apprenticeship to equip you for your chosen career.
