APPRENTICESHIP, GRADUATE AND WORK EXPERIENCE PROGRAMMES

Whether you are a school leaver or student just starting out or have many years of experience and are looking to move in a new direction professionally, our apprenticeships offer a wide range of opportunities across Kier and with our supply chain partners. Kier provides access to a range of exciting careers in the built environment. We are always looking for bright, talented individuals to join our business and become part of the team that create the spaces and places that generate opportunity and prosperity.

We offer more than 25 different apprenticeship programmes - some requiring no or few formal qualifications, others with much higher entry requirements as they lead to qualifications at degree and masters levels. 

If you are currently studying for a degree, our 8-week summer internships and 12-month industrial placements are a great way to immerse yourself in our world.

You will get to look inside a leading infrastructure, building, developments and housing group and find out about the work we do, and the sectors we support. All while getting valuable hands-on experience which will support your studies.

We carefully scrutinise students accepted on internships and industrial placements while they are with us, to identify high performers who would be suitable to fast-track onto our graduate programme at the end of their studies.

Work experience is a great way to gain an understanding and an appreciation of our exciting, diverse and ever-growing industry. It can help you make a career choice which is right for you by introducing you to new opportunities.

We offer various unpaid, structured work experience placements and pre-employment programmes across the country. You will work alongside Kier colleagues to gain valuable insight into some of the roles on offer across our diverse business.

Some of our pre-employment programmes also allow individuals to gain recognised entry level qualifications, which can support their transition into the industry.
