Balfour Beatty Living Places has partnered with Groundwork Northamptonshire, a charity which delivers community-based projects in disadvantaged areas, to provide young people with work experience placements and future employment opportunities.

Through the partnership, Balfour Beatty Living Places will provide £40,000 to fund four 28-week paid placements at Groundwork Northamptonshire’s community garden project in Kettering.

The candidates will then embark on a four-week paid placement on Balfour Beatty Living Places’ Northamptonshire PFI contract, learning how to install and maintain street lighting assets, while also gaining skills in risk control, safety culture and team work on local highway networks.
