What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

Obvious one, but make sure your CV is up to date. When doing your CV, try not to use a standard template for it. Make it personal to you. I have seen some CVs before that multiple people had used, so they all look the same. It doesn't help you stand out.
Try and get your application in as early as possible. My year (I think) they started assessment days in January, whereas in the next year they started in December.

Do you have any interview tips?

By far the easiest process I have done for a company. All I had to do was a CV and an assessment center.
The assessment center is a day long and mine had about 60 people there. Throughout the day I had to do four tasks; team building exercise, individual interview (with one/two people), team discussion and another team activity. For the interview, you are required to make a presentation about 'Why you want to join Kier?' This should be about 10 minutes long, then it is followed by a standard interview. No hard questions during the interview. Mine was more of an informal chat.
