Company Description

At Turner & Townsend we’re passionate about making the difference. That means delivering better outcomes for our clients, helping our people to realize their potential, and doing our part to create a prosperous society. Every day we help our major global clients deliver ambitious and highly technical projects, in over 110 offices worldwide.

Our UK E&NR business is structured into two geographical regions (the North and the South which are divided horizontally roughly around Nottingham) and a third, UK-wide, dedicated Performance Analytics Team driving our approach to digital & data. In the E&NR North & South Region we currently have around 300+ professionals across cost and commercial management, project controls, and project management – and a very strong revenue growth target for the year. As such, we are actively recruiting for fantastic opportunities across a wide range of clients and sectors including across all aspects of nuclear delivery, renewables, battery storage, transmission & distribution, Carbon Capture Storage and Sustainable Aviation Fuels. We also work closely with our Infrastructure and Defence colleagues with opportunity to work across a wide variety of projects.
