Civil engineering and building contractor Farrans Construction has launched an application process to recruit 50 people for its award-winning Farrans Foundation graduate programme, with intake dates in June and September 2025.
The positions will be based in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic.
Farrans Foundation is a two-year programme which provides graduates with the necessary experience and knowledge to fast track their career in construction, quantity surveying and civil engineering.
With a blend of classroom-based learning and on-site experience, this is the starting point on the journey to becoming future industry leaders.
A number of under-graduate summer and year-long placement opportunities are also available in civil engineering, construction management, quantity surveying, quality, accounts and IT.
High performers are offered bursaries to support with final year study and they will have the offer of full-time employment once they have graduated which will automatically enrol them in Farrans Foundation two-year graduate programme.
Dominic Lavery, managing director of Farrans, which is part of the CRH building materials business, said: “One of the best parts of the construction and civil engineering industry is that there are so many roles that you can choose from as you progress.
“Our graduate programme is designed to provide an overview of all of the responsibilities which come together to deliver world-class projects.
“Our aim is to support you to gain practical skills alongside project management and leadership skills. This will provide a strong base to look ahead to Chartership.
“The graduate programme will provide all of the necessary experience and knowledge applicants need at the start of their career.
“We receive a high volume of applications for our programme, so anyone interested should take time to make their application the best it can be.”
