### Graduate development programme

SYSTRA offers a structured three-year Graduate Development Programme (GDP)
combining formal training with on-the-job experience. We provide exciting
opportunities across engineering and consultancy disciplines – giving you the
chance to work on transport, energy and infrastructure projects that are
changing the world.

You could find yourself working on disruptive technologies, consulting on clever
ways to extend the life of ageing transport assets, designing local schemes to
encourage walking and cycling, or supporting the development of high-speed rail
lines to connect major cities. As well as working on projects in the UK and
Ireland, you could have the chance to work overseas in one of our global
offices.
