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.

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
