Introduction
Welcome to the VolkerWessels UK Education Engagement Portal and thank you for taking the time to contact us.
VolkerWessels UK brings together a number of leading construction and infrastructure businesses, including VolkerRail, VolkerFitzpatrick, VolkerStevin, VolkerHighways, VolkerLaser, VolkerGround Engineering and VolkerWessels UK. Together, we deliver projects across the UK and offer a wide range of career opportunities nationwide within engineering, construction, rail, highways, marine, ground engineering, business support and many other disciplines.
Education outreach is a really important part of our People-Planet-Purpose sustainability framework. We take our responsibility to inspire the next generation to consider construction as an exciting career path seriously and want to provide as much support as we can to schools to stimulate young minds.
It would be helpful if you could provide as much information as possible in the form below so we can direct your request to the most suitable part of the business. We will review all requests carefully and, whilst we would love to be able to support them all, we hope you can understand that we may not be able to accommodate every request.
Please also use this form to contact us if you are seeking a work placement or work experience opportunity.
We will endeavour to provide a response within 10 working days.
Please note that you must be over 18 to complete this form to ensure the Company does not communicate directly with minors.
