It is HS2. It is Europe’s largest project of its kind.

The size, scale and scope of HS2 is immense. Our challenge is to design and build the largest section of HS2’s Phase One route. This covers about 90km from Long Itchington in Warwickshire,to the centre of Birmingham and on into Handsacre, in Staffordshire.
To deliver it we need talented people.Lots of them; from experienced engineers, ambitious graduates and apprentices to a wide range of professional service experts.
Together we will help design and build one of the biggest, most challenging projects we will see in our lifetime.
