MJM Marine has opened applications for its 2027/28 Navigate Early Careers Programme. This offers school leavers and students across Northern Ireland the chance to earn while they learn in apprenticeship, higher-level apprenticeship, graduate and placement roles.

The live roles include Higher Level Apprenticeships in Construction Management, Digital Construction, and a Quantity Surveying Placement.

Since launching the Navigate Programme in 2019, MJM Marine has launched the careers of more than X young people. This year, 10 new Navigate students joined the business, gaining industry-specific skills across Contracts, Design, Quantity Surveying, Logistics, Finance and Marketing.

Elizabeth O’Connor, Director of People and Governance at MJM Marine, said, "One of the most rewarding aspects of the Navigate Programme has been watching young people join the business and develop throughout their time with us.

“Over the years, we have seen students grow from work experience placements and apprenticeships into valued full-time members of our team. We are proud of the impact the programme has had over the years and look forward to welcoming the next intake of students as they begin their careers with us."

Ronan Crawford, Quantity Surveyor Student, who joined MJM in July, said, “Since starting in July, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a live project, splitting my time between the site and the office. It’s given me a real understanding of how a project comes together. I’m looking forward to building on that as I work towards my qualification and take on more responsibility.”

Whether you’re finishing school, looking for a placement year or advising students on their next steps, MJM Marine’s Navigate Programme offers a clear route into a career within the construction industry.

Applications close on Friday, 4th December. For more information and to apply for MJM Marine’s current Navigate roles, please visit the MJM Marine website. MJM Marine is a global marine outfitting company headquartered in Newry, Northern Ireland.
