We have opportunities for driven and ambitious students looking to gain practical experience in one of our diverse and innovative teams.
Our industrial placement opportunities are for 10 to 12 months and carried out during a year out from university, or after completion of a bachelors, and before enrolling onto a post graduate 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.
This particular role is with the Birmingham Bridges and Civil Structures team. We work on a wide range and scale of project types; these projects can include both the design of new active travel, highway and rail structures, and also asset management where an existing problem structure is presented and you are challenged to review different methods of sustainable repair and/or strengthening. You will be well supported during your time with us, working with our experts within the team to tackle challenges and gain structural experience that will assist you in future studies.

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.
