Job Introduction

IT Graduate Programme - be a part of the digital transformation at Tarmac

The construction and infrastructure sector is undergoing a digital revolution- and our Transformation department is at the heart of it At Tarmac, we're embracing cutting-edge technologies, smarter systems, and innovative thinking to shape the future of how we build, connect, and operate.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the development and deployment of cutting-edge AI and automation solutions that drive real-world impact- from optimizing asphalt plant operations to streamlining logistics networks. As we build our AI capabilities from the ground up, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping strategy, influencing technology choices, and seeing your work translate into tangible improvements across our operations. If you're excited by the chance to innovate in a hands-on, high-impact environment, we'd love to hear from you.

AI is reshaping industries- and construction materials is next. Unlike sectors like retail or finance where AI is already mature, here you'll be pioneering its application in a space ripe for innovation. You'll work on high-impact use cases such as:

  • Asphalt mix optimisation and quality control
  • Predictive maintenance for production plants
  • Logistics and route optimisation
  • Process automation across materials operations
  • Data analytics to drive operational efficiency

This is a rare opportunity to build from the ground up. No legacy systems. No rigid playbooks. Just the freedom to shape strategy, influence technology choices, and deliver solutions that make a visible difference from day one.

What you'll be doing

  • Spot and prioritise opportunities- Identify high-impact automation opportunities across asphalt plants, concrete production, logistics, and quality control.
  • Prototype and Experiment- Rapidly build proof-of-concept AI solutions to demonstrate value, embracing experimentation and learning from failure.
  • Lay the data foundations- Support initiatives to improve data collection, quality, and accessibility which form the critical groundwork for scalable AI capabilities.
  • Collaborate closely with operations- Work side-by-side with operational teams to understand real-world pain points, constraints, and opportunities.
  • Share Knowledge and Build Capability- Document solutions, share insights, and help grow AI literacy across the organisation.
  • Evaluate tools and vendors- Assist in assessing AI and automation platforms to ensure the right fit for our evolving needs.
  • Deploy and monitor solutions- Contribute to the rollout and performance tracking of automation workflows in live operational environments.
  • Drive strategic transformation-Participate in cross-functional teams tackling strategic initiatives that shape the future of our business.

You'll contribute to projects like:

  • AI-driven asphalt mix optimisation (Project AI in Asphalt)
  • Automation of manual reporting and administrative processes
  • Data analytics for operational efficiency improvements
  • Building foundational AI capabilities and standards across Tarmac

Your Development

You'll also take part in our Graduate Core Skills Development Programme, designed to boost your business knowledge, strengthen your soft skills, and connect you with other grads and leaders across Tarmac.

What we're looking for...

We're not just looking for tech skills- we're looking for curious minds and problem solvers. If you're excited by change and ready to grow, we want to hear from you.

Essential

  • A degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or a related field
  • Proficiency in Python, R, or other programming languages commonly used in data analysis and automation
  • Solid understanding of machine learning concepts and algorithms
  • Strong data literacy—including data quality, collection methods, and governance principles
  • A process-oriented mindset—able to understand and map business processes before automating them
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-evolving environments where solutions are built from scratch
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work across technical and operational teams

Desirable

  • Exposure to machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Scikit-learn
  • Experience with automation platforms like Power Automate, UiPath, or custom scripting tools
  • Interest in industrial or operational AI applications, especially in manufacturing, logistics, or materials
  • Familiarity with data visualisation tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, or Plotly)

Hybrid working available- giving you the flexibility to learn and contribute both on-site and remotely.
