Brookbanks Future Leader Graduate Programme
The Brookbanks Future Leader Graduate Programme is an 18-month rotational scheme that gives graduates hands-on experience across multiple disciplines, on a fast-track pathway to management and directorship.
As a Graduate Consultant, you’ll complete six three-month rotations across our business groups:
- Land, Development and Communities
- Development Management
- Cost and Commercial Management
- Civil Engineering
- Structural Engineering
- Mechanical and Electrical Engineering
Throughout the programme, you’ll work on live projects from day one, supporting real client outcomes and contributing to the planning, design and delivery of major developments. Along the way, you’ll build broad, well-rounded technical expertise, receive mentorship from senior leaders across the business, and take part in formal leadership and professional development training.
Your core rotations will be based in our Birmingham or Bristol office, with at least one rotation in another of our UK offices. At the end of the programme, you’ll have the opportunity to apply to specialise in the business group of your choice.
Specialist Graduate Roles
Alongside our Future Leader Graduate Programme, we also recruit graduates directly into our specialist business groups. Roles such as Graduate Civil Engineer, Graduate Hydrologist and Graduate Cost Consultant give you the chance to develop deep expertise in your chosen discipline from the start, working on live projects alongside experienced professionals.
You’ll receive structured support towards professional chartership, ongoing training and mentoring, and the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility as your skills grow, all while contributing to developments that shape communities across the UK.
