Asset Management Graduate Scheme - Transportation

In Digital Asset Management, we help our road, rail, water and energy customers to get the most out of their built infrastructure assets. We provide the information they need to make key plans and decisions about the future, such as when to invest in their assets and what maintenance activities to prioritise. We help clients understand their data and bring it to life, using tools such as FME and Power BI.
We also advise clients on the implementation of national guidance and best practice, such as the uptake of risk-based approaches to asset management. This often involves working closely with clients to understand their needs and aspirations, followed by developing and implementing improvement or transformation plans. The projects we work on are varied, dynamic and stimulating, providing plenty of opportunity for new challenges and personal growth.
Opportunities are available in two of our sub-teams (please select the team names below within your application).
Requirements: Please see team information below
Locations: Birmingham, Cambridge, Manchester
