Overview

Deloitte's Major Programmes practice is recruiting for individuals with industry and technical skills to strengthen our capability to address complex programme challenges and create conditions for success for the world's most impactful programmes. Major Programmes typically involve the delivery of a major capital asset or infrastructure through large, complex programmes that require significant investments and span multiple years. Our market leading next generation delivery approach, Programme Aerodynamics, replaces siloed, conventional, linear thinking with multi-disciplinary capability to help our clients deliver their most critical and demanding programmes while reinforcing Deloitte\'s commitment to purpose-led change. Programme Aerodynamics brings together mindsets, expertise, methodologies, and solutions to better anticipate, shape and manage change in Major Programmes, empowering project leaders to effectively anticipate and manage change, risk and uncertainty throughout a programme\'s lifecycle.

Our practice comprises a blend of those who have worked previously in industry and those who have prior consulting experience. The strength and value Major Programmes bring to our clients and Deloitte is a result of our diverse and highly relevant industry insights and experience. You will have the opportunity to work across a range of impactful programmes, building your skills on the job, supported by our world class professional development approach, and collaborate with colleagues across disciplines using our methods, assets and tools.
