Early Careers
Start your career
at Conroy.
From day one, you'll be working on live projects across five sectors — gaining experience, developing professionally, and building a career with real progression.
Someone we're building a career around.
We take a small number of graduates each year across construction management, quantity surveying, engineering, and BIM. A focused intake means every graduate receives dedicated attention, meaningful project involvement, and a named mentor from their first week.
You join a specific discipline, work on live projects, and develop within a team that is genuinely invested in your progression. The exposure you gain — in pharmaceutical, data, energy, and industrial environments — provides an outstanding foundation for a career in construction.
Why Conroy
Why starting here
matters.
The first few years of a construction career shape how you think about projects, people, and delivery. Strong early exposure builds the foundation for everything that follows.
Technical environments from day one
You'll be working on pharmaceutical cleanrooms, live data facilities, critical environments, and industrial facilities — technically complex environments that develop your skills and professional confidence from the outset.
Director visibility
Our directors are hands-on and accessible, which means graduates get direct exposure to senior decision-making from the start. Working closely with leadership accelerates your professional development and builds confidence early.
Chartership support built in
We sponsor CIOB and RICS chartership for graduates pursuing MCIOB or MRICS. That means study costs, structured CPD, access to chartered colleagues as mentors, and time built into your schedule to make it achievable alongside full-time work.
Disciplines
Four disciplines.
Clear pathways.
We hire graduates into specific disciplines so you have clarity from the start — you'll know your team, your role, and your development pathway before day one.
Discipline 01
Construction Management
Working alongside Site Managers and Project Managers on live technical projects. Exposure to programme management, subcontractor coordination, quality control, and H&S compliance from the outset.
Discipline 02
Quantity Surveying & Commercial
Supporting commercial managers across cost planning, procurement, valuations, and final accounts on technically complex contracts. Early involvement in design and build procurement and subcontract management.
Discipline 03
Engineering
Civil, structural, and M&E coordination roles working with design teams, specialist subcontractors, and client engineering teams. Hands-on involvement in technically regulated environments where precision and quality are central to everything you do.
Discipline 04
BIM & Digital
Supporting BIM coordination and model management across active projects. Working with Revit, Navisworks, and project-specific BIM execution plans. A growing function as Conroy scales its digital delivery capability.
What to expect
Your first
twelve months.
You'll be contributing to live projects early. Here's what your first year at Conroy typically looks like.
Structured induction
Your first two weeks cover Conroy's delivery model, H&S systems, the sectors we operate in, and the specific project or team you're joining. You'll meet the directors and understand how decisions are made before you're in the middle of them.
Mentor assigned from week one
You'll be paired with a senior colleague in your discipline — someone genuinely invested in your development. Regular one-to-ones, open access, and constructive feedback throughout.
Live project involvement
From the end of your first month you'll be contributing to an active project. Depending on discipline, that might be on site, in a commercial team, or in a design coordination role. The work is real from the start.
CPD and qualification planning
By month three, you'll have a CPD plan in place aligned to your chartership pathway. We'll confirm financial support for professional body membership and set out how study time fits with project commitments.
Six-month review
A formal review with your mentor and a director at month six. Covers performance, progression, any adjustments to your development plan, and what the next six months should look like.
Mentorship
Someone in your
corner from day one.
Every graduate at Conroy is assigned a named senior mentor from their first week. It's a structured, purposeful relationship designed to support your growth and ensure you're developing in the right direction.
Regular one-to-ones
Structured check-ins every two to four weeks as standard. A consistent space to raise questions, discuss progress, and receive guidance on your development.
Discipline-matched mentors
Your mentor works in your discipline. A QS mentors a QS graduate. A project manager mentors a construction management graduate — so the guidance you receive is directly relevant to your career path.
Chartership guidance
If your mentor is chartered, they'll help you build a portfolio of experience aligned to CIOB or RICS requirements. If not, we'll connect you with a chartered colleague who can.
Director access
Directors are accessible directly, and your mentor helps facilitate that relationship — giving you visibility and connection to senior leadership from the start.
A two-way commitment
The graduates who thrive at Conroy are curious, engaged, and motivated to develop. They bring energy to the work and make the most of the opportunities in front of them.
When both sides are invested, the results speak for themselves.
Our sectors offer a rich learning environment. Graduates who embrace the complexity of these projects develop quickly — and we're here to support that growth every step of the way.
