Graduate Development
Early-years professionals are critical to the future success of our business. We provide a structured graduate programme supported by accredited in-house trainers and experienced mentors, for both infrastructure design engineers and transport planners. The programme is run in conjunction with the Institute of Civil Engineers (ICE) and the Transport Planning Society (TPS) respectively.
We will shortly be launching our graduate recruitment pathway for Summer 2025 starters. If you are interested in pre-registering to apply for a graduate position with Mayer Brown, please send a short CV and cover letter to recruit@mayerbrown.co.uk
"A Career Built on Variety, Challenge and the Freedom to Grow"
When I joined Mayer Brown as a graduate in 1997, I was looking for the chance to work on a wider range of projects and really push my career forward – and I haven’t looked back since.
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to advise clients across all types and scales of development – from residential and retail to employment, health, education, and leisure. I enjoy the challenge of helping to shape successful planning applications and strategies, particularly when the transport issues are complex or sensitive. It’s about more than just data – it’s about telling a compelling story and solving problems in a practical, creative way.
What makes Mayer Brown a stand-out employer is the autonomy and trust you are given. From day one, I was encouraged to take ownership of my work and grow into new roles – which ultimately led to me becoming a Director and, now, a Co-Owner of the business.
Being part of Mayer Brown means being part of a collaborative team that genuinely enjoys what we do. It is a place where you are supported to develop your career, but also to influence the direction of the company itself. For me, that is what makes it such a rewarding place to work.
