Summary
At Redrow we thrive on providing opportunities; and for undergraduate students who can show that they make the most of opportunities – we’re a perfect match. Our industrial placement programme offers first-class training to learn and develop transferable skills in exciting roles across the business. We recognise how important real-world experience can be in helping you work towards your degree and in securing your dream job in the future. Many students have impressed us so much during their sandwich-year placement and we have offered them opportunities on our graduate programme after they return to university to complete their studies and graduate.
