Mitie Projects – Engineering Graduate Programme 2026 – South
Starting Salary: £30,000, with guaranteed six‑monthly salary uplifts and a £1,000 relocation and early‑career support allowance.
At Mitie, we believe that when places work better, people do too. As the UK’s leading facilities transformation and professional services business, our 80,000 colleagues help organisations create safer, smarter and more sustainable environments. Mitie Projects sits at the heart of this mission. From modernising critical national infrastructure to delivering low‑carbon energy solutions, we design and deliver engineering projects that support organisations across the country and accelerate the UK’s transition to a greener future.
Our Engineering Graduate Programme gives you the opportunity to join this work from day one.
Over two years, you'll have the freedom to shape your own rotational journey, giving you the autonomy to carve out the kind of engineer you want to become. Instead of following a fixed programme, you’ll co‑design your rotations with us, choosing the areas that excite you most. You will be able to rotate across the country working in specialist areas of Mitie Projects, including Power & Grid businesses (G2 Energy, Rock Power Connections, Custom Solar, ESM Power), JCA Engineering, our Projects Centre of Excellence, and our Consulting and Energy Solutions teams.
You’ll contribute to real projects for major clients, gaining experience across design, energy systems, project delivery, infrastructure and sustainability. In your first year, you’ll complete two six‑month rotations; in your second, you’ll spend a full year developing deeper expertise in a specialism that excites you.
Your development sits at the core of this programme. Alongside technical masterclasses, leadership and behavioural training and project‑based learning, we will actively support you in working towards professional recognition and chartership with your relevant engineering institution – such as the IMechE, IET, CIBSE or others aligned to your discipline. You’ll receive structured guidance, access to experienced mentors, and the practical experience required to progress confidently towards Incorporated or Chartered status. You’ll join a collaborative graduate community and benefit from supportive line management throughout your journey.
In your project work, you’ll be hands‑on: supporting project delivery, assisting with modelling and technical drawings, analysing site data, helping drive carbon reduction and performance improvements, and bringing fresh, data‑informed insights to the decisions we make. You’ll collaborate with colleagues across engineering, commercial, operations and consulting, all focused on creating environments where people and organisations can thrive.
We partner with over 3,000 public‑ and private‑sector clients, including well‑known organisations such as Network Rail, Rolls‑Royce, NHS, and iconic sites like the Eden Project. Through Mitie Projects, we design and deliver engineering solutions that support some of the UK’s most critical infrastructure, power systems and sustainability ambitions, giving you the chance to work on projects that really matter.
