What Graduates Say About Them
  • Lots of learning and professional development opportunities.
  • The managers are really helpful with anything and everything... I’ve always felt that they look out for you as you’re a grad.
  • I love that Acciona genuinely holds sustainability so close to its core.
  • There is work flexibility and a friendly and positive work culture.
  • Supportive team, the company cares about the growth and learning of graduates.
  • The nature of the construction industry means that it is hard to achieve a work/life balance.
  • Work Loads. Long work Hours.
  • It's not the most social office environment.
  • The commute, inability to WFH more and my inability to get out to projects.
  • The graduate program feels like a complete waste of time and only takes away from me being able to complete my actual work.
