2025 Summer Placement - Environmental Trainee (5114)

Summer Placement – Social Value Trainee 

Our Summer placement programme is designed for the brightest and most ambitious undergraduates. You will benefit from the opportunity to enhance your academic studies with an engaging series of paid work placements that will give you a head start as you enter the world of work.   

Laing O'Rourke offers undergraduate's placements to those students studying an construction related degree.   

Our summer placement programme offers undergraduates a 6-12 week placement for those who are passionate about achieving their career ambitions in the built environment. Perform well enough and you may get the chance to join our Graduate Development Programme.    

Your summer placement will give you an insight into our world-class project-based business. You will get hands-on experience of working on one of our construction sites, along with structured training, group activities, guidance and support which will aid you with your university education.    

We understand that flexibility is important to you and therefore we've designed the programme to fit with your summer plans. A core six-week programme has been designed for you to get the most value from the summer placement and we ask that you are available for the duration to complete your six learning sessions. These sessions will complement your practical experience on site.  You will be given the dates within the recruitment process.  

What the role will look like?  

  • Supporting the delivery of Social Value Strategies across the project, ensuring we meet all social value objectives 
  • Contribute to team meetings offering innovative solutions and sharing best practice 
  • Collaborative working with procurement to ensure the targets are communicated effectively through the supply chain, using a ‘legacy agreement' 
  • Keep up to date with current social value trends 
  • Have awareness of social value measurement tools such as the national TOMS 

Locations we are recruiting for: 

As a project-led business, the location of our work can vary depending on project needs. This role may require you to be prepared to relocate to project sites across the UK.   

 

Degree subjects we are looking for:  

Relevant undergraduate degree in sustainability or similar 

 

Career progression: 

Students who complete a successful Summer placement will be automatically put forward for our Graduate Development Programme. This means you will not need to apply nor go through the assessment centre process.    

Entry requirements: 

We particularly encourage first-year students to apply in order to maximise the number of work placements you can complete before graduation.   

You will need to meet the following criteria:    

  • You must be eligible to work in the UK without restrictions with a valid work permit, if applicable.   
  • You will be required to travel and possibly relocate for your rotational placements.   
  • You must be on target to achieve a 1st or 2:2 degree classification.   
  • You must be currently studying an accredited degree in your specific field.
