About the Role
Laing O'Rourke's Graduate Development Programme helps graduates gain practical experience, achieve professional accreditation, and build the skills needed to become future leaders in the construction and engineering industry. The Early Talent Programme will enable you to expand your networks, achieve professional and personal development, gain exposure to a variety of projects and disciplines, and develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to build a successful and rewarding career.
Professional Accreditation
Graduate membership of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) or the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), with support to work towards professional chartership.
Role Overview
Join the Precast Technical Solutions (PTS) team within the Explore Manufacturing Design Centre at Laing O'Rourke's Centre of Excellence for Modern Construction. You will help develop bespoke precast structural solutions for building structures, facades and infrastructure, applying Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) principles to create safer, faster and more sustainable construction methods.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and check structural solutions for precast products, considering manufacture, lifting and installation.
- Provide value-engineering input that balances safety, cost, buildability and sustainability.
- Support tender and pre-construction teams with structural engineering input.
- Explore innovative materials and design approaches to reduce carbon and waste.
- Work across disciplines to develop products that meet client needs while maximising efficiency.
Relevant Degree Subjects
