Now that you know all about Buro Happold, who we are and what you can expect from us, the next stage is to get your application in. We’ve worked hard to demystify the application process and make it as simple and straightforward as possible.
The application process
To apply for a graduate or student placement/internship position, the
first thing you need to do is apply online.
These forms have been designed to ensure we have all the information we need to progress your application. Whilst we accept and shortlist applications throughout the year, we strongly encourage you to apply as soon as possible as there’s a limit to the number of positions we have available.
We understand that you may find it difficult to choose which of our specific disciplines to apply for. Our application form therefore enables you to:
- apply for posts under one of our three operating areas Buildings, Infrastructure, Environment
- apply for posts within specific disciplines
- choose the location where you’d like to work
If you wish to apply to work in a specific discipline you will be given a list of relevant locations to choose from.
Once you’ve completed your application form it will be forwarded to the relevant managers for review. And rather than keep you waiting around, will advise you of any updates on your application as soon as possible. You will also be emailed a username and password for the Buro Happold Application System, so that you can keep a close eye on your application’s progress.
The interview
If you are invited for interview, remember: it’s an opportunity, not an interrogation! It’s as much a chance for us to sell Buro Happold to you, as it is for you to introduce and sell yourself to us. You will also be able to spend time with graduates who joined us the previous year, so you can hear from the horse’s mouth what life at Buro Happold is really like!
You will be asked to bring along examples of work developed during your university course. We find this is a great way to get you talking about what you have been doing and for us to ask questions. Above all, we want to see and hear your passion and enthusiasm, your desire and ambition.
