Application process
First, you’ll complete an online application form. Be prepared to tell us why you’re interested in National Highways and the early careers programme you’re applying for.
As part of the online application, you’ll also complete a short scenarios-based assessment. If you’re shortlisted, we’ll ask you to choose your preferred role as you can only complete the rest of the selection process once.
If successful, we’ll invite you to record a video interview using your own device, so we can get to know you better. There’ll be a deadline to stick to, so keep an eye on your emails and try not to leave it until the last minute!
If you pass, the final stage is a virtual assessment day, where you’ll meet our hiring managers and early careers team. We’ll give you all the details to help you prepare if you reach this stage.
We’ll email you about the progress of your application after each stage, whether you’ve been successful or not. Please be patient, due to the large number of applications we receive this may take some time. However, we’ll update you as soon as we can.
If you have any questions at any time, there’ll be email and telephone contact details for our dedicated recruitment team included in all emails you receive during the process. We’ll be very happy to help you.
