The BUUK Graduate Programme
provides a development framework,
leading to a fulfilling and exciting career.

Alongside the best in the industry, our graduates make a significant contribution
and a big difference – often working on projects with the potential to transform
the utilities infrastructure landscape.

We have schemes for Engineering, Finance, Commercial, IT and Sales graduates.
Our schemes can last up to three years and typically involves rotations, working
within multiple departments and businesses, within multiple
functions and businesses within the group.

Throughout the scheme, graduates are supported by the business and the
BUUK people around them. We assign each graduate two mentors
throughout the scheme – one is a senior member of staff and the other
a previous graduate with direct experience of having
completed the BUUK programme themselves.

“Everyone around me
supports me and encourages
me to push myself further.”

throughout their journey

A final project or placement year then focuses on a full-time role and specialism. The technical development of our graduates is well supported – through on-the-job, practical experiences and placements.

We also support their professional development, combining classroom-led training courses, online training courses and structured networking opportunities with scheme alumni.

BUUK Graduate Engineers attain the professional status of Incorporated Engineer within three years, and Chartered Engineer within five years with a relevant engineering institution accredited by the Engineering Council.

Finance Graduates work towards achieving the Association of Chartered Certified Accounting (ACCA) status or the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) status.

“BUUK was just one of those companies that jumped out – where there were just so many things you could do.”
