Job description

Join to apply for the Graduate Project Manager role at Affordable Houses Ltd.

Egis is a leading global consulting, construction engineering and operating firm. We work together with our clients, across every aspect of transport, energy and the built environment to build a more balanced, sustainable and resilient world. The Egis Group has over 50 years experience and a team of 19,000+ employees in over 120 countries around the world.

Joining our Group means, above all, sharing our values as a people-first company, strongly committed to sustainability and innovation. In the UK we're proud to be delivering some of the most iconic projects which help connect people, protect our environment and meet emission reduction targets. From motorways to tramways, nuclear power plants to smart cities, clients choose us to help them solve their most complex challenges - delivering climate-responsible growth that meets the needs of communities, industry, and the planet.

The M25 is one of our Flagship projects in the UK! It is the most used part of the UK Strategic Road Network with it seeing over 200,000 vehicles per day and its a critical infrastructure asset for personal and goods vehicles into and around our capital. The network includes around 800 structures and 5 tunnels, so it requires high levels of performance, constant improvement and repairs to keep it operating smoothly.

We’ve formed a Joint Venture project called Connect Plus Services (CPS) to work with our partners to widen, operate and maintain the M25 under a 30-year contract and to support our continued growth and success, we are looking for a Project Management Graduate to join us at either our South Mimms, Leatherhead or Dartford depots.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join our Egis 2025 Graduate programme while working on the Connect Plus Services Joint venture where you’ll have the opportunity to work a wide range of areas across the Project Delivery and develop a well-rounded skill set with diverse business knowledge.

We believe the key to our ongoing growth and success is the development and nurturing of enthusiastic, ambitious graduates who are excited by the daily unique challenges we tackle across our organisation and want to join us in making a positive impact across the globe.
