How to Apply for Ramboll Work Experience - July 2026

at Ramboll Management Consulting

🏢 About Ramboll Management Consulting

Ramboll Management Consulting stands out by focusing specifically on driving decarbonization and sustainable business models globally, rather than just general consulting. Their work experience program offers pre-university students rare access to hands-on exposure across engineering, design, environmental, and sustainability careers within a single organization. This provides a unique opportunity to explore multiple career paths in sustainability before committing to higher education.

About This Role

This one-week work experience program allows pre-university students to explore various roles within Ramboll's sustainability-focused projects through hands-on exposure rather than observation. Participants will develop practical skills in computer analysis and problem-solving while gaining insights into how different departments collaborate on decarbonization initiatives. The program is impactful because it helps shape future sustainability professionals at the earliest stage of their career exploration.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a morning briefing on Ramboll's current UK sustainability projects, followed by hands-on sessions where you work with mentors on computer analysis tasks related to real decarbonization challenges. Afternoons could involve rotating through different departments to see how engineering, design, and environmental teams collaborate, ending with team discussions about career paths in sustainability.

4

Ask thoughtful questions about how different departments (engineering, design, environmental) collaborate at Ramboll in your cover letter
