Job Description
We have opportunities for driven and ambitious students looking to gain practical experience in our Bridges and Civil Structures team in Cardiff. Our industrial placement opportunities are for 10 to 12 months and carried out during a year out from university, or after completion of a bachelor's, and before enrolling onto a postgraduate course. Our company operates in a wide range of sectors, providing a unique chance for you to engage in projects that align with your academic interests and career goals.
You’ll be working with graduates, experienced professionals, and other students, so placement with us is the perfect opportunity to learn from a variety of people while understanding our values and culture. It’s also a great chance to get involved with real projects while gaining relevant experience.
The Cardiff Bridges and Civil Structures team works on a variety of projects from asset management, where a problem structure is presented, and you are challenged to review different methods of sustainable repair and/or strengthening to new design of new active travel and highway structures. Often we rely on our leading experts within the team to think outside the box and determine analysis methodologies that are bespoke to the structure driving initiative and growing confidence for your remaining studies.
We do not have a formal structure for our placement programmes, so you can really make the role your own. The more you get involved and the more questions you ask, the more you will gain from your experience with us.
If you’re invited to an interview, this is when we will discuss in more detail the specifics of the job role you applied for and what it involves.
About our placements
We’re looking for highly motivated students who are passionate about learning from our industry experts. You’ll be given the opportunity to gain invaluable experience working on some of the exciting projects that are helping to shape tomorrow’s world.
We understand that to put your learning into practice it’s important that you’re given an accurate insight into our innovative industry. With enough work placement experience under your belt, you can get just that. Think of it as a worthwhile investment towards your future career.
Many of the employees that we recruit for our graduate schemes are students that have made an impression during their placements with us, so remember, this could be the start of a promising career for you with Mott MacDonald.
You’re probably wondering what else is on offer. Join us, and you’ll get:
* As a living wage employer, we offer our students a competitive salary which is above the living wage threshold.
* Contributory pension up to 7% of your salary.
* A flexible benefits scheme tailored to suit your specific needs during the year you are with us.
Being part of Mott MacDonald means more than just work; there’s a huge range of fun and exciting things that you can get involved in.
From the moment you join us, you’ll have the opportunity to expand your social and professional network, whether it’s meeting other placement students and graduates or joining forces with other members of staff from around the company at our annual sports day. Each of our offices has a sports and social committee which will give you the chance to be part of a variety of sports, social, and charity events. We’re committed to promoting a strong culture of social responsibility and encourage our staff to play active roles in the local community.
It's worth noting that sports and social committees tend to vary from office to office, so as well as getting involved in what’s already on offer, don’t be afraid to suggest new events or initiatives that you think could be a great addition.
It doesn’t stop there. As well as events, you’ll also have access to discounts on cinema tickets, travel, fashion, utilities, and much more as part of our company benefits which you can take advantage of the moment you join.
