From day one, you’ll dive into the heart of Turner & Townsend, building your internal networks and deepening your understanding of our industry and service area.

We provide summer placements for students in their penultimate year at university but will consider those in their first year or second year of a four year course. The placements usually start in June and will last 8 weeks. This placement is suitable for anyone wanting to gain an insight into the construction industry and the projects we work on.

If you complete a placement with us, you will have the opportunity to fast-track on to another placement or directly on to the Graduate Development Programme.
