**Based in Birmingham with travel required to various site locations across the HS2 line of route where necessary.**
At HS2 we offer a two-year rotational graduate programme, providing you with the opportunity to stretch and challenge yourself across various programme related placements. This programme is designed around enabling you to get as much experience as possible across the below teams within a particular business area. After completion of the 2-year graduate programme graduates will be transferred into a role within the same discipline, but not necessarily the same business area.

We have a total of 3 graduate opportunities available in Birmingham all of which will require travel to various site locations across the HS2 line of route. Graduate opportunities will be available across a variety of HS2 Finance teams including but not limited to those listed below.

The Finance Business Partners are the Finance conscience of the business and as such a trusted advisor of the business leadership teams, they support. The FBPs are split into teams that cover all the departments of the business, namely, Civils, Stations & Systems, Land and Property, Phase 2 and Corporate Directorates.

The FBPs seek to provide clean and clear interpretation of financial information to enable business leadership to make the right decisions which benefit the delivery of HS2 Programme in a controlled and cost-effective manner.

The primary aim of an FBP is to support the business in ensuring that all spend undertaken is within the approved envelope issued by the DfT, is appropriately validated via governance, is appropriately transacted in the systems with the results reported on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis against the forecast spend agreed with the DfT and that our financial activity is within NAO & Financial Standard requirements.
