Construction Delivery Graduate Programme

Location:

London, City Centre Salary: £31,500.00 + bonus

Duration: 2-years, starting date September 2027

Build Homes That Matter Want to help tackle the UK housing crisis while building a career in construction? Latimer, the development arm of Clarion Housing Group, is looking for ambitious graduates to join our Construction Delivery Graduate Programme in London.

What Construction Delivery Does We look after Latimer and Clarion’s interests on every scheme, whether we’re the client, a joint venture partner or buying the affordable homes on a Section 106 scheme. We’re the eyes and ears on site, owning each scheme from pre-construction to the end of the defects period and beyond. We work closely with contractors, Employer’s Agents, consultants, and partners, and hold them to account on safety, quality, customer outcomes, cost and programme.

Every home we deliver should be one we’d be proud to live in.

What You'll DoAs a Construction Delivery Graduate you will be part of that from day one. This is not an admin role. You will be on live sites across the region, from high-rise and higher-risk buildings to large regeneration and joint venture schemes, working alongside experienced Construction Delivery Managers, many of them chartered.

No two days are the same. Construction Delivery sits at the centre of every scheme, where safety, quality, cost, programme and the customer all come together, and we are relied on to make the decisions that keep it on track. One day you could be on site inspecting work with our Clerks of Works, the next reviewing a contractor’s valuation, working through a contractual claim or getting a building ready for its first residents.

You will need to think on your feet, and you will build client-side project, commercial and construction management skills that few graduate roles offer this early.
