Our people, from the first-day apprentice to senior management make our business what it is today. Everybody in the Currie & Brown family, no matter how experienced they are, plays their own unique part in our success and have fun along the way.

The role involves working within the project management team based in the Southampton office. We recruit exceptional graduates of all degree backgrounds who aspire to be project management leaders in a construction consultancy environment.

• Mentorship from an experienced colleague
• Training sessions with an external APC coach
• Quarterly assessments
• Coaching in soft skills
• Individual face-to-face and telephone support in the six months leading up to the final assessment
