The Construction Industry has many tremendous opportunities to offer and yet is still under rated and under publicised.

Not only does it offer an immense diversity of jobs it also offers the excitement of change and the satisfaction of building something that will stand as a testimony to your hard work for years to come.

What is Costain's Executive Board commitment?

How can we help you?

The Built environment is all around us. Have you ever stopped to think about the roads, rail and bridges we use to go to school? Hospitals to accommodate us when we are sick? Office buildings to work from? Water treatment works to provide drinking water and deal with wastewater?...and the list goes on. All these things affect us daily AND the quality of our lives.

What about countries that aren't as lucky as we are?...That suffer natural disasters and wars. The Construction Industry can help them rebuild their lives AND THEIR HOMES!

Building Awareness will help raise money for charities including RedR, the Register of Engineers for Disaster Relief, Water Aid providing clean water to poor countries and CRASH, which helps to provide shelter for the homeless in the UK. Have a look at their web-sites for more information.

Without the Construction Industry we would not have these facilities, amenities and services and yet it is so often taken for granted.

How can we help you?

If you think Costain may be right for you and you have potential, then talk to us as soon as possible and we can help develop it.

We can arrange events, activities, presentations and site visits for your school to get as much information and experience of the Construction Industry as possible.

On an individual basis we can offer one to one advice, answer your questions and provide work placements, gap year and vacation work.

If you then demonstrate your ambition to follow a career in construction we can offer sponsorship for university.

Getting involved and experiencing first hand what it is all about not only helps you make informed decisions about your future, but you will learn many new skills and it looks great on your CV.
