A leading UK engineering, infrastructure and professional services organisation is recruiting graduates to join its Engineering Graduate Scheme, offering hands-on involvement in projects that modernise national infrastructure, deliver low-carbon solutions and support a more sustainable future.
This scheme is designed for graduates who want real responsibility from day one, flexibility to shape their development, and a clear pathway into a permanent engineering role.
The Programme
This is a two-year rotational graduate scheme built around autonomy and choice. Rather than following a fixed pathway, 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, sustainability and energy transition initiatives
Projects span design, modelling, site delivery, infrastructure development and carbon reduction, across both public and private sector environments.
What You’ll Do
As an Engineering Graduate, you will:
* Support the delivery of real engineering and infrastructure projects
* Assist with modelling, technical drawings, data analysis and site information
* Contribute to energy efficiency, sustainability and performance improvement initiatives
* Collaborate with engineering, commercial, operations and consulting teams
* Apply data and insight to support technical and commercial decision-making
This is a hands-on, delivery-focused scheme designed to build both technical capability and commercial awareness.
Development & Professional Recognition
Your development sits at the heart of the scheme. 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.
Reward & 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)
