Octavius Regional Civil Engineering is recruiting a motivated Graduate Engineer to join our growing team across the South West of England. This is an exciting opportunity for a graduate based in the South West and enthusiastic about working on varied civil engineering projects in a regional environment.

Occasional travel or periods of working away from home may be necessary.
Benefits
You will benefit from comprehensive learning and development opportunities, including participation in our ICE Approved training scheme. We offer flexible working arrangements where possible, private healthcare, access to our Company Car Scheme, and generous benefits, including a day off for your birthday. Opportunities for career progression and support to achieve your goals will be provided.
Qualifications and Experience
You are an adaptable, proactive individual with a relevant degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related discipline. Your strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively will help you thrive.
