Galliford Try

We are passionate about our role in providing vital buildings and infrastructure across the country, committed to the idea that what we do makes a real difference to people’s lives.

Driven by our values, we are people-orientated and progressive, and our offering is defined by our people. So, if you’re a team player, committed, talented, enthusiastic and want to make a difference to the world around you, join our team and learn from the best.

The best of both worlds

While we love a hard hat and high-viz vest, there’s more to us than PPE. We are at the cutting-edge of digitalisation, using robots, AI and Modern Methods of Construction to deliver the future of the UK. And if a career on site isn’t for you, you could join one of our many professions including HR, Carbon, Data Analytics, Bid Management, Systems Development, Finance or Social Value.

 Work for the #1 Grad Employer for Construction & Civil Engineering

We’ve been voted the best place for graduates in construction and civil engineering across the UK, and our award-winning Graduate Programme is designed to give you a rich, hands-on experience where you will develop your technical skills, grow your network and gain professional qualifications if you want to.

Work with some of the best people in the industry in a full-time role, as you start an exciting and rewarding career where you will be enabled to add value to society.

The programme lasts for two years and runs in parallel to your permanent job, with six modules including our much enjoyed Module 4, a teambuilding event in the great outdoors designed to bring out your interpersonal and leadership skills, and complement the hands-on technical experience that you will gain in your role.

If you decide to work towards professional qualifications, we will fully fund your qualification and pair you with a dedicated mentor. You will also have access to the GT Academy, an online portal that will aid your professional development both while on the Graduate Programme and onwards in your career.

Our programme culminates with a celebration of you and a promotion within your role to start the next stage of your career.

Top Apprentice Employer

As well as being top for grads, we’re proud to have been voted second in TheJobCrowd’s list of Top Construction and Civil Engineering Companies for Apprentices, and we came 24th for apprentices across all sectors, out of over 600 UK companies.

So, if you’re eager to start getting hands-on, practical work experience and gain a recognised qualification, then our Trainee Programmes could be the foundation for your career in Galliford Try.
