Chart your own course and change the world — with the support of people whose interests are aligned with yours. At Burns & McDonnell, opportunity is waiting. We’re looking for people with big ideas and an entrepreneurial mindset. It’s those kinds of people who’ve helped us grow from a small consulting business back in 1898 to a global leader in engineering, architecture and construction solutions. Today, we’re a thriving company with more than 10,000 professionals working in 75 offices worldwide and recognised as a leader in Engineering & Construction services.

We have a specific opportunity for an experienced Senior Project Planner with strong UK experience.

We are addressing projects across the power transmission & distribution industry, encompassing substations, as well as supporting the challenges of future networks as we innovate in the types of investment and technology to support more renewable energy, a shift to electric vehicles and increasing energy storage. If you are excited about working both at the grid edge and in the heart of the electricity network then we want to hear from you. We are Burns & McDonnell and we Create Amazing.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
