Notable projects include the development of high-speed rail networks that connect cities, the construction of eco-friendly mixed-use developments, and the implementation of smart city initiatives to enhance urban living. You will be working for one of the three companies within the business and future work will be provided from whichever one of those companies you are assigned to but they are all major players in the industry and all work on some of the most prestigious major infrastructure projects in the UK.
