ASPIRE Graduate Programme - Technical in Guildford

Are you looking for a graduate scheme that gives you insight into different business areas while strengthening your development through modules and projects? Commencing in September each year, this is our two‑year Graduate programme. In year one you join your chosen discipline to meet the team, settle into the business, and impact meaningful work. During this year you’ll also begin six two‑month placements on rotation, designed to give an all‑round insight into our business. Following your rotations you’ll re‑join your initial team to specialise in your chosen area. The projects will be longer, more strategic, and the experience more focused and intense.

As part of your chosen discipline in Technical you’ll work closely with almost every area of the business, so we look for people who enjoy solving problems, managing complex projects and who are natural communicators. As well as considering the homes themselves, you will liaise with consultants to help design roads, sewers and open spaces to create the perfect environment for our customers, all while staying on top of the latest building regulations. You’ll also benefit from volunteer opportunities, chances to study for further qualifications and will complete development modules including leadership, communication and project management.

During the programme you will:

• Follow a tailored plan with clear goals, feedback and formal mentoring from a Managing Director
• Attend all Group Development modules and Functional Meetings
• Contribute to continuous business growth by taking on projects as agreed with mentor
• Contribute towards Corporate Responsibility goals by driving volunteer projects in the local area
• Give continuous and constructive feedback on the Graduate Programme and act as a buddy to new graduates when appropriate
