Build your future through engineering

Engineering is about solving problems, improving how things work and turning ideas into real-world outcomes.

Our Engineering Graduate Programme gives you the opportunity to apply what you've learned at university to meaningful projects, gain hands-on experience and develop the skills, knowledge and confidence needed for a successful engineering career. You'll work alongside experienced professionals, contribute to live work and gain insight into the challenges, opportunities and innovations shaping the industries and infrastructure that support everyday life.

About the Programme

As an Engineering Graduate, you'll gain experience across a broad range of engineering activities, helping to develop, deliver, operate and maintain important infrastructure and assets.

Depending on your location, discipline and placement, you could be involved in engineering design, technical analysis, project planning, asset management, construction, commissioning, maintenance, operational support or continuous improvement activities. Some opportunities are primarily office based, while others provide regular exposure to operational environments, project sites and field-based engineering activities. Many roles offer a blend of both, giving you valuable insight into how engineering concepts move from design and planning through to delivery and operation.

You'll work alongside experienced engineers and technical specialists, contribute to live projects and gain first-hand experience of how engineering supports the successful delivery of major projects and operational activities.

Throughout the programme, you'll benefit from:

- Meaningful work and real responsibility from the start.

- Exposure to a variety of engineering disciplines, projects, technologies and working environments.

- A mix of office, site and operational experience, depending on your role and placement.

- Support from experienced engineers, mentors and a wider graduate community.

- Structured learning and development designed to build your technical, professional and commercial skills.

What We're Looking For

You'll have, or be expected to achieve, a minimum 2:2 honours degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Built Environment, Control & Instrumentation, Data & Digital, Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Power Engineering, Marine Engineering, Subsea, Logistics, Mechanical Engineering, CAD Civil Engineering, Architectural Engineering, Architectural Technology, Building Information Modelling, Construction Engineering Management, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Computer-Aided Mechanical Engineering, Product Design Engineering, Mechanical/Electrical Engineering with strong CAD or BIM experience.

We're looking for graduates who:

- Are excited by the opportunity to apply their engineering knowledge to real projects and practical challenges.

- Enjoy analysing problems, exploring solutions and thinking critically about how things can be improved.

- Build positive relationships and collaborate effectively with people from different teams, disciplines and backgrounds.

- Are curious, adaptable and motivated to learn, develop and take on new experiences.

- Take pride in doing the right thing, maintaining high standards and putting safety and quality at the heart of what they do.

You don't need to know everything on day one. What matters most is your willingness to learn, contribute and make the most of the opportunities the programme provides.
