What to expect 

From day one you'll be part of Construction Delivery, the client's eyes and ears on every Latimer and Clarion scheme, working on live sites across London and the Southeast.

Our schemes range from high-rise and higher-risk buildings to major regeneration and joint venture projects that are transforming neighbourhoods and changing lives. These are career-defining schemes, and you'll be part of the team that delivers them.

Construction Delivery sits at the centre of every scheme, where safety, quality, cost, programme and the customer all come together. We take the baton from our development colleagues and own each scheme from pre-construction activities such as demolition, through start on site and handover, to the end of the defects period and beyond. We work collaboratively with our contractors, Employer's Agents, consultants and partners, and hold them to account. Every home we deliver should be one we would be proud to live in.

Reporting to your Construction Delivery line manager, you'll get hands-on with:

• Site visits and inspections with our Quality Inspectors, checking quality and health and safety standards
• Monitoring contractor progress against programme and raising issues before they become problems
• Commercial and contract meetings, and keeping Pamwin, our commercial appraisal software, up to date
• Client-side project management on live schemes
• Our client duties under CDM 2015 and the Building Safety Act, including on higher-risk buildings
• Handing over high-quality homes and buildings to our residents and customers

No two days are the same, and you'll learn to think on your feet. You'll finish the year knowing how major housing schemes are delivered from the client side, with a real head start for your final year and your graduate career.

About you 

You’ll be currently studying towards a Construction Management or related degree and on track to achieve a minimum 2:1. We’re looking for a motivated and self-driven individual with a strong academic track record and a clear commitment to applying themselves.
