Notes
Summer placements last six to twelve weeks and industrial placements twelve months, for students on a sandwich degree. Both include a core six-week programme of six learning sessions, and students are asked to be available for all of it. Roles are in civil engineering and quantity surveying, placements are in the UK only, and students must travel and may need to relocate. Those who complete a placement well are put forward for the graduate programme without a fresh application, or for a further placement. No roles were listed when the page was read, and it gives no dates or pay figure.
