Graduate Electrical Engineer

Electrical, Electronics, C&I, Energy.

Power your future. Engineer infrastructure that matters.

Are you graduating in Electrical Engineering and ready to turn theory into practical experience on some of the UK’s most important infrastructure?

What's it like to be a Morgan Sindall Infrastructure graduate?
Morgan Sindall Infrastructure graduates talk about their experiences working for us.

At Morgan Sindall Infrastructure, we deliver some of the UK’s most complex and critical infrastructure across energy, transport, water, defence and nuclear.

As an Electrical Engineering Graduate, you’ll work alongside experienced professionals, developing your technical skills while contributing to live infrastructure projects across a diverse range of sectors.

From day one, we’ll support you to learn, challenge yourself, and gradually take on greater responsibility.

This isn’t just your first engineering job. It’s the start of your career.

Where could you join us?

Our Electrical Engineering Graduate opportunities across England and Wales span three areas of our business: Energy, Transport and Water & Defence.

Energy

Help us deliver the infrastructure needed to support the UK’s changing energy needs.

Our Energy business works on major upgrades to the electricity transmission network, helping customers get the most from existing assets while building significant new infrastructure. Our specialist areas include overhead lines, underground cables, and substations.

As an Electrical Engineering Graduate, you could be supporting the design, installation and commissioning of key assets, helping to ensure technical design specifications are met safely. You’ll work within multidisciplinary teams, interpret drawings, monitor progress, and use innovative engineering and digital solutions to resolve challenges.

Energy could be for you if: you’re interested in electrical transmission, major infrastructure, and helping to connect cleaner energy sources to the grid.

Transport

Help us keep people, places and communities connected.

Our Transport business brings together infrastructure across road, rail and aviation. This broader offering helps us support the safe and efficient movement of people and goods while delivering complex infrastructure in operational environments.

As an Electrical Engineering Graduate, you could build your understanding of how electrical engineering works alongside civil, mechanical and other engineering disciplines. Depending on your project, you may gain exposure to rail systems, stations, aviation infrastructure and other transport assets, while supporting safe and successful project delivery.

Transport could be for you if: you’re interested in road, rail or aviation infrastructure, multidisciplinary engineering and applying your electrical engineering knowledge within complex operational environments.

Water & Defence

Help us deliver resilient infrastructure that supports communities and national security.

Our Water & Defence business delivers infrastructure that supports essential public services, community resilience and national security. Its activities include enhancing and maintaining water networks and wastewater treatment assets, alongside complex defence infrastructure.

Electrical engineering plays an important role across these environments. You could develop your understanding of the electrical systems that help essential water assets operate effectively, while learning how rigorous engineering, assurance and multidisciplinary collaboration support secure and resilient defence infrastructure.

As an Electrical Engineering Graduate, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your technical knowledge while contributing to the safe and successful delivery of complex, high-performing infrastructure.

Water & Defence could be for you if: you’re interested in essential services, technically demanding environments and delivering resilient infrastructure for communities and the UK.

What will you be doing?

Your graduate journey is where theory meets practice. You’ll work alongside qualified professionals, gaining hands-on experience and developing the skills required to progress towards site or project engineering roles.

Depending on your project, you could be:

  • Supporting the design, installation and commissioning of electrical assets
  • Interpreting engineering drawings and technical specifications
  • Monitoring project and construction progress
  • Supporting site engineering activities
  • Using digital systems and innovative engineering solutions
  • Helping to solve technical and engineering challenges
  • Working within multidisciplinary project teams
  • Building your understanding of project planning and delivery
  • Working with subcontractors and suppliers
  • Supporting key stakeholder relationships
  • Contributing to the safe and responsible delivery of infrastructure

As your skills and confidence develop, you’ll be encouraged to take on greater responsibility and build the technical, professional and behavioural capabilities you need for your future career.

Your Graduate Programme

We want your Graduate Programme to provide the foundations for a successful, long-term engineering career.

You’ll combine practical, day-to-day experience with structured development, mentoring and personal development opportunities. You’ll also receive support towards professional recognition and Chartership, including through organisations such as the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).

Our Graduate Programme offers:

  • Comprehensive development
  • Practical experience from day one
  • Individual focus and support
  • Mentoring from experienced colleagues
  • Professional development
  • Support towards chartership
  • Access to an Early Careers community
  • Networking and development opportunities

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for graduates who are enthusiastic about building a career in Electrical Engineering and want to see their knowledge applied to real infrastructure.

You’ll need:

  • An Electrical Engineering degree accredited by a relevant chartered body, at 2:1 or above
  • A genuine interest in Electrical Engineering and infrastructure
  • Strong problem-solving skills
  • A positive, proactive and adaptable approach
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • A willingness to learn and take ownership of your development
  • Good organisational and time-management skills
  • The ability to work towards deadlines
  • A strong commitment to safety
  • The ability to drive
  • The ability to travel independently to project locations and stay away from home when required

Previous exposure to a construction or engineering environment would be beneficial, but we’re equally interested in your potential, attitude and willingness to learn.

A career that can take you places

Infrastructure isn’t always built next to an office. Our opportunities are located across England and Wales, and projects can be based in rural or remote locations. Depending on your role, you may therefore need to travel independently and stay away from home for periods of time.

In return, you’ll have the opportunity to experience different projects, engineering challenges, and teams while building a broad range of technical and professional skills.

What’s in it for you?

You’ll be joining a structured and supportive graduate environment, with experienced colleagues helping you develop throughout your programme.

You’ll benefit from:

  • A competitive salary and benefits package
  • Car or car allowance
  • Incentive scheme
  • Structured graduate development
  • Mentoring and professional development
  • Support towards chartership
  • Early Careers networking opportunities
  • A range of competitive employee benefits

The Finer detail

  • We may close applications earlier if we receive a high level of interest, so we recommend applying early to avoid missing out.
  • Expected start date – September 2027
  • Location of role – England and Wales  
  • Working Hours – 37.5 hours per week
  • Working week – Monday – Friday
  • Salary – £33,597.20 + a Company Car/ Car allowance

Ready to engineer your future?

Your degree has given you the technical foundations. Now it’s time to put them into practice. Whether you’re helping to strengthen the UK’s energy infrastructure, supporting the movement of people and goods through Transport, or contributing to essential infrastructure through Water & Defence, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your skills while working on infrastructure that matters.
