Graduate Civil Engineer

Graduate Engineer
Location: Nottingham
Salary: £28,000 - £34,000

Not sure you want your first engineering role to pigeonhole you into one discipline? This Nottingham opportunity gives you experience across both Civil Development and Structural Engineering, together with genuine site involvement so you can understand how projects are designed and actually delivered.

The Opportunity

An established multidisciplinary consultancy is looking for a Graduate Engineer to join its Nottingham team.

You will work across the Civil Development and Structural Engineering teams, supporting experienced engineers with design and project delivery. There will also be significant site involvement, giving you practical exposure to construction and the opportunity to become a trusted pair of eyes on live projects.

  * Assist with drainage, infrastructure and associated development work
  * Support structural design alongside experienced engineers
  * Attend sites, monitor progress and gather project information

  * Work with architects, contractors and wider project teams
  * Support projects through design and construction stages

Candidate Requirements

• Degree in Civil Engineering, Civil & Structural Engineering or a closely related discipline
  * Graduate through to around two years' experience considered
  * Genuine interest in both design and site-based engineering
  * Practical approach and willingness to learn across disciplines
  * Confident communicating with engineers, contractors and project teams
  * Keen to develop professionally within a multidisciplinary consultancy
