We are excited to present an opportunity for a graduate to work with our Willmott Dixon Interiors teams on projects in London and wider South East.

We are looking for the successful candidate to focus on Operations/Site Management but as part of this scheme you will be supported to spend time in other areas of construction including quantity surveying, design management and other areas of pre-construction on a placement basis.

Upon successfully completing the 2(construction related degree), or 3-year program (non-construction related degree), you will be promoted to an assistant building manager (site manager).
