The best way to get stuck into a career in construction is by getting hands on. That's where our graduate program, Ignite, really shines.
This immersive experience pairs graduates like you with industry experts, providing you with a 360° overview of the world of construction. From live sites to behind-the-scenes planning, we'll equip you with the knowledge and practical skills you need to light up the industry.
We've put together some of our top tips and tricks to help guide you through the application process!
Ready to kick off your future in civil construction? Our tailored program will guide you through the ins and outs of the industry, launching you into a career you'll love.
You'll start off with a lunch with our leadership team, before meeting your personal mentor. With their support, you'll get exposure to the end-to-end nature of our business. This includes:
Stakeholders can make or break a project. We'll teach you the foundations, from their key interests to contractual requirements.
Timeliness is critical in our industry. Discover how programming helps teams easily time, plan out activities and allocate resources.
Construction estimates can win or lose a project. Set your foundations by understanding the contractual requirements and variations of a project.
Understand survey models and learn survey set out and quality assurance requirements for delivery of projects.
Identify and understand practical implications of key contractual rights and obligations to reduce exposure to contractual risk.
Learn how to procure a package for materials or subcontract works and issue subcontract or supply agreements.
Develop project specific HSEQ skills and documents and implement management plans to manage safety on site.
Understand the costs involved in a project, how to manage them and identify financial risks and opportunities.
While Ignite is geared towards engineering graduates, we invite graduates in business management, safety, quality and environmental studies, human resources, accounting, law and other shared services like marketing and IT to apply.
Whatever your qualification, what you’ll need most is a passion for construction.
At Symal, we’re all about our people. We’re looking for team players and progressive thinkers who can communicate their ideas and passions while developing their industry knowledge.
If you've got heart and determination and aspire to be a future leader in the construction industry, we want you to help us build better, together.
