Application Advice:

Be enthusiastic. You may not know much about the transport and built environment industry before starting but show that you want to learn about this field and recognise the importance of the work we do.

Interview Advice:

The interview is pretty chilled and more like a two way conversation. Be calm and be open minded to learn about what we do and see if we are a fit for you - take the opportunity to ask the interviewer what they're currently doing to get a flavour of what you will be involved with. Be prepared to give some examples showing your competencies and perhaps read around key news in the transport industry such as new developments on HS2 before you attend the interview.

Application Advice:

Be yourself! Show off your experience, why what you learnt at uni brings the necessary and desired skills for this role.

Interview Advice:

Generally across Steer it applies that you want to show good communication skills and that you're enthusiastic, hardworking intelligent and interested to learn. Make sure you make it clear what it is about Steer that makes you want to work here, perhaps any industry-specific knowledge or experience you have you're hoping to build on. If you're interviewing for the Steer Economic Development graduate scheme, I would recommend knowing about the general economic impacts of big sectoral changes to an area - such as a particular large manufacturer shutting down - that's a classic economic consultancy question! Having an understanding of quantitative and qualitative analysis and being able to explain this in the interview will be useful too.

Application Advice:

Tailor CV, look at the Company website, Twitter, Instagram. See what we have been up to and tailor accordingly to the information that most interests you.
For online verbal and numerical tests - not about getting through every question, but about being as efficient as possible in answering as many as possible correctly.

Interview Advice:

Prepare for the general questions you would expect in any interview. May be asked a very random interview question. Not necessarily about getting the correct answer, but about demonstrating you're thinking / problem solving skills.

Assistant Consultant, Strategic Transport Planning at Steer
Read the full review »


Application Advice:

Use your cover letter to sell WHY you are interested in the industry.

Interview Advice:

Prepare for your interviews by researching the company, and thinking about why you like transport. The first question they asked me was: "how did you get here this morning?" think analytically about how you get around, and if you perceive problems with your journey. This will show interviewers that you can think laterally about something as apparently mundane as transport.

Assistant Consultant, Planning at Steer

Application Advice:

Apply even if you don't think you have the necessary skills, consulting is open to a broad range of backgrounds.
Don't delay your application and email even if applications are closed to show your interest - you never know what opportunities might be available.

Interview Advice:

Be engaging and interested in the work, take the opportunity to ask many questions. Do your research on the company and the work they do before hand.

Include previous relevant consultancy/transport/management etc. experience if you have it.
For the online numerical and verbal tests, practice! Don't get too worried about not completing every single question, there's a balance to strike between the number you complete and the number you get correct.

Interview Advice:

Application Advice:

While there are as many stages as there are in any other consultancy application, the atmosphere during graduate recruitment is much more supportive and friendly than anywhere else you'll find and so I would advise applicants not to feel worried!

Interview Advice:

It is important to let your personality show through - the workplace is very friendly so be friendly back!

Assistant Consultant, at Steer Davies Gleave
Read the full review »


Application Advice:

Highlight any strengths you have even if you may think they are not applicable. The company is growing and looking more outwards in terms of candidate's educational background so don't be afraid to apply despite your degree seemingly having no correlation with transport. Your skills will get used in a different way.

Interview Advice:

Show your personality and try to enjoy it. There are a number of elements to the day but the environment is very relaxed and the interviewers will not try to trip you up at any point. They are extremely supportive. Bear in mind the culture of the company as this isn't KPMG etc - an arrogant and overly bullish approach will not get you anywhere, SDG is not that type of company.

Interview Advice:

What challenges in the industry are you most interested in solving?

Assistant Consultant, Transportation Advisory at Steer Davies Gleave
Read the full review »


Application Advice:

Very simple. Be honest. In particular, be honest about what you are and are not interested in. The worst thing to say is that you're willing to do anything. No one is, and so they will know you're lying. Also, at SDG there's a wide range of opportunities, so being honest about your professional desires will help set the tone of your hiring process.

Interview Advice:

Ditto with above. Also Listen, reflect and answer appropriately. Do not make up an answer and if you don't know, be honest. Think about what SDG does: it provides professional advice. When a client asks a question and we don't know the answer, we have to react appropriately. If you can demonstrate that you can react appropriately when asked a question that "stumped" you, you've proven you're SDG material.

Application Advice:

Make sure that your interest in transportation shines through. Many individuals have the technical skills, which you do need to present, but the genuine interest is what will bring you forward as a candidate.

Interviewers are interested in the way you approach and solve problems, and whether you're interested in the industry. There will be questions without right and wrong answers, and it's good to have a discussion.

Application Advice:

Pre-interview steps are fairly standard, usual prep should suffice. People of various Undergraduate and Post Graduate disciplines join as consultants, so don't worry too much about what you've done, as long as you're comfortable with numerical reasoning and logical tests.

Interview Advice:

A genuine interest in transport is important above all else, as obvious as it may seem. While work here may suit people interested in more general consultancy, showing an interest in (any area of) transport and its impact is key.

The company really values inquisitive people and discussion throughout the application process and the job, at all levels, so don't be afraid to engage anyone and everyone at interviews. Don't worry too much if you get asked something which you don't know the answer to - propose something and have a discussion!

Application Advice:

Take an interest in transport. Show that you are enthusiastic and express your opinions on transportation issues. You will need to demonstrate some numerical ability (for the Advisory division) however beyond that I believe the company is quite open-minded about the type of people they recruit. Although I graduated in Economics, I feel as though beyond the demonstration of numerical ability, it was enthusiasm for transport that was important.

Interview Advice:

As with the application advice, take an interest and have an opinion! Steer Davies Gleave publish a mini-journal of articles called "The Review" (see the company website). Having a read through a couple of issues and having an opinion on what you've read (providing its backed up with good reasoning!) may be beneficial. Also have a look at other industry publications if you get the chance. You won't be expected to know the industry inside out, so show that you are willing to learn and are open-minded.

Remember that they're not trying to catch you out and there aren't any trick questions, the interviewers and just trying to gain an understanding of how you think and get to an answer. Ask lots of questions, it shows an interest and it's also an important part of the job.

Best:

The company offer flexible working hours to even junior staff. This has allowed me to enjoy hobbies in my personal life without it having a negative impact on my work.

The company pay you fairly and well in the off with salary increases coming as and when you earn them.

The company encourage and facilitate you working on a wide variety of projects. You aren't just stuck in your own division the entire time working on the same range of narrow projects.

Worst:

The company has somewhat of an obsession over utilisation as a statistic and uses it as the sole measuring stick for some key decisions when it can be very deceptive on its own not telling you the whole picture. This is even more pertinent when we take into account the next worst thing about the company.

Regional imbalance. There is a regional imbalance in the amount of work that is available for staff in the Northern offices and the Southern office due to a number of informal and formal means. This then negatively affects Northern utilisation which in turn negatively affects outcomes for Northern staff.

The company is not good at allocating project work especially in the immediate term. This can leave you with an unexpected day or two without work which then reflects poorly on you as an individual.
