Their commitment to mentoring beginners in a one-week intensive programme provides unparalleled access to industry professionals and cutting-edge projects in the UK market.
About This Role
This one-week work experience programme offers hands-on exposure to engineering, design, environmental, and sustainability careers through direct participation in Ramboll's actual projects and workflows. You'll develop practical skills in computer analysis and problem-solving while gaining insider knowledge of how a leading consulting firm operates in the decarbonization space. The role is impactful because it provides foundational experience that could shape your future career path in sustainability, with direct mentorship from professionals currently working on global environmental challenges.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might begin with a team briefing on a current Ramboll project, followed by hands-on sessions where you'll assist with basic computer analysis tasks under mentor supervision. After lunch, you might shadow different professionals across engineering, design, and environmental teams to understand their daily responsibilities, then participate in problem-solving workshops applying sustainability principles to real business challenges. The day would conclude with reflection sessions where you discuss career insights gained and prepare questions for the next day's mentors.
