About the Role

Join our January 2027 early careers intake as a Graduate / Junior Electrical Engineer and become part of the Xcellerate cohort, our dedicated early careers development programme.

Based at our head office in Godalming, Surrey, you’ll work alongside experienced engineers on Life Sciences and Pharmaceutical projects. From day one you’ll gain hands-on design experience, work within multidisciplinary project teams, and build your technical and professional skills with structured support.

This is a permanent, full-time position, working 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday. The role is predominantly office-based, with occasional site visits. A full, valid driving licence would therefore be an advantage but is not essential.

• Support projects from initial concept through to detailed design and delivery

• Work collaboratively with engineers, designers and wider project teams

• Provide technical input to support procurement, estimating and cost planning

• Undertake site visits and surveys, assist with design queries and carry out quality checks

• Help ensure designs are safe, compliant and of a high standard, while identifying opportunities to improve how we work

You will be

• A graduate with a degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline

• Experienced in the workplace having spent at least a year working in an electrical engineering role on industrial placement or since graduating

• Familiar with relevant design software, such as Amtech, Relux, DIALux, CAD Viewers and Navisworks Viewer

• A problem-solver who can explain complex ideas simply

• Proactive, with bags of initiative and enjoy working as part of a team

• Keen to keep learning and progress towards chartership

Why Join Scitech-EKIUM?

It’s an exciting time to join Scitech-EKIUM as we continue to grow, welcoming talented professionals across multiple engineering disciplines. Through Xcellerate and beyond, you’ll follow a structured development programme, with mentoring and a funded route to chartership, designed to build your technical skills and set you up for a rewarding long-term career.
