Job description

A leading UK engineering, infrastructure and professional services organisation is recruiting graduates to join its Engineering Graduate Programme, working on projects that modernise national infrastructure, deliver low‑carbon solutions and support a more sustainable future.

This programme is designed for graduates who want hands‑on responsibility from day one, flexibility to shape their development, and a clear route into a permanent engineering role.

The Programme

This is a two‑year rotational programme with a strong focus on autonomy and personal development. Rather than following a fixed structure, graduates co‑design their rotations, selecting specialist areas aligned to their interests and career goals.

Key Criteria

Education

  • A degree in any engineering discipline (e.g. mechanical, electrical, civil, environmental, energy, building services or related)

You will:

  • Complete two six‑month rotations in year one
  • Spend year two specialising in a chosen engineering discipline
  • Rotate across project delivery, power and grid, energy systems, infrastructure, consulting and specialist engineering teams
  • Work on live projects supporting critical infrastructure, energy transition and sustainability initiatives

Projects span design, modelling, site delivery, infrastructure development and carbon reduction, across both public and private sector environments.

What You’ll Do

  • Support the delivery of real engineering and infrastructure projects
  • Assist with modelling, technical drawings, analysis and site data
  • Contribute to energy efficiency, sustainability and performance improvement initiatives
  • Collaborate with engineering, commercial, operations and consulting teams
  • Use data and insight to support technical and commercial decision‑making

This is a hands‑on, delivery‑focused programme designed to build both technical depth and commercial awareness.

Development & Professional Recognition

Your development sits at the core of the programme. You will benefit from:

  • Technical masterclasses and project‑based learning
  • Leadership and behavioural skills training
  • Structured mentoring and supportive line management
  • Active support towards professional recognition and chartership with a relevant engineering institution

You will join a collaborative graduate community and gain the experience required to progress confidently towards Incorporated or Chartered Engineer status.

Skills & Attributes

  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills
  • Confidence working with data to inform decisions
  • Clear communication and ability to collaborate across teams
  • Curious, proactive and adaptable mindset
  • Ambition to build a long‑term engineering career

The organisation recruits for mindset and potential, not just technical specialism.

Benefits

  • £30,000 starting salary with automatic six‑monthly uplifts
  • £1,000 relocation and early‑career support allowance
  • Guaranteed permanent role on completion of the scheme
  • Enhanced pension contributions and share schemes
  • Life assurance (up to 4x salary)
  • Flexible lifestyle benefits platform
  • Virtual GP and wellbeing support
  • Cycle‑to‑work scheme and retail discounts
  • Recognition and reward programmes

Hybrid working and flexibility are supported where roles allow.

Seniority level: Entry level.

Employment type: Full‑time.
