Highways England launches opportunities for graduates

Highways England is launching a range of opportunities for graduates looking to design, build, maintain and improve the country’s infrastructure.

Roles including project managers, civil engineers and quantity surveyors are now open for applications and will lead to opportunities across Highways England’s nationwide offices, including Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Bristol, Bedford and Guildford.

The new influx of these roles is part of Highway’s England’s commitment to recruit, develop and retain talented graduates, which aims to help the organisation deliver projects as part of its major investment transforming England’s road network.

San Johal, Highways England Human Resources Director said: “This is an exciting time to be part of the team Highways England. By 2021, we will have delivered £15billion investment in our motorways and A roads to keep road users and businesses moving, underpinning economic growth.

“To do this, we are investing in the next generation of future project managers, engineers and other technical specialists. We’re encouraging anyone considering a graduate programme to visit our website and explore the opportunities to start a fantastic career with us.”

New recruits will play a key role in modernising England’s motorways and major roads by developing and delivering technically advanced projects including the A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon, and in the next roads period, schemes such as the Stonehenge Tunnel and Lower Thames Crossing.

This raft of new opportunities will see Highways England play their part in helping the government achieve its target of creating 30,000 apprenticeships in the road and rail industry by 2020.
