At Steer Davies Gleave we think we are going places. Don’t just take our word for it, in the last year we have won a number of awards including:

your journey starts here... We believe that transport can change the world. That’s why we’ve spent over thirty years investing in pioneering transport planning techniques.

» 2012 Transport Consultant of the Year » 2012 & 2011 Top 100 companies for graduates to work for (The JobCrowd) » 2012 Infrastructure Journal’s Technical Advisor of the Year » 2012 One of the top 10 ‘Best Companies to Work for in BC’ (Canada)

12 months have gone by already since the start of my graduate programme at Steer Davies Gleave. I still feel there is a lot that I want to learn! So far, I’ve been involved in aviation and rail projects and it has been a steep yet enjoyable learning curve. There is a huge variety of projects in many transport modes and I look forward to being a part of these. Katie Tang London Office

Matt Hateley I started with National Grid in 2009 and spent 18 months on the Graduate Development Programme – I’ve had lots of great training and lots of development opportunities. I’ve travelled all over the country on different courses, meeting new people and networking. I then spent a year in my ﬁrst post and after two and a half years I was in a management position.

“My quick transition from graduate to managing other people and leading a team shows how much commitment National Grid has to developing its people”

Matt Hateley, Investment Planning and Performance Manager

My quick transition from graduate to managing other people and leading a team shows how much commitment National Grid has to developing its people. Every day is different and it’s always incredibly busy, but fun. I think that’s one of the key messages – it’s hard work but it’s a great place to be. The atmosphere is really good, the people are nice, and the job’s fun, interesting and challenging. National Grid’s got a really great culture. You can go up to anyone and ask them anything and they’ll help. A lot of people join as an apprentice and retire in the same company; that’s a testament to the culture of the business. It’s a really exciting place to be at the moment. National Grid is effectively rewiring the whole of the UK. To be a part of that lasting legacy is great. As an engineer, you want to leave something behind that’s better than when you started. That’s the fun bit – going home feeling that you’ve made a difference.

Vicky Young This year has given me the chance to see that National Grid is the right company for me, and that I’m the right person for it too. You never know what to expect coming into a work placement – whether you’ll be treated as a student or given real-life work to do – and I couldn’t believe how much I was treated as a permanent employee!

“I want to be developed so one day I can manage a team of my own – I know I can do that here.” Vicky Young, IS Industrial Placement Student)

Vicky Young, IS Industrial Placement Student

I’m quite career-focused and strong minded, and to know that National Grid is going to put a lot into developing me to become stronger as a person and as a manager really appeals to me. I also appreciate the ﬂexibility and the people I work with – everybody’s so engaging. I’ve felt part of the team and based on my placement year here, I know I’ll have a really good career with National Grid. This placement year has allowed me to look at roles and consider what I do like to do. I want to go into some kind of management role. Whether that’s project management or people management I’m not entirely sure. But that’s the beauty of the graduate programme – it will allow me to explore that in greater depth.
