Where could you join us?

Energy - Central Scotland

Help us deliver the infrastructure needed for a secure, resilient and lower-carbon energy future.

Our Energy business delivers essential infrastructure that supports the generation, transmission and distribution of energy across the UK. Based in Central Scotland, you will have the opportunity to begin your Mechanical Engineering career within multidisciplinary teams working on complex, technically demanding projects that contribute to a secure, resilient and lower-carbon energy future.

Depending on your role and project, you could gain experience in the design, installation, commissioning, maintenance and improvement of mechanical systems and equipment used across energy infrastructure. You may also support engineering assurance, technical coordination, project delivery, and the safe integration of mechanical solutions with civil, electrical and other engineering disciplines.

Energy in Central Scotland could be for you if: you’re interested in energy infrastructure, practical engineering, collaborative working and solving complex technical challenges in a safety-critical environment.

What will you be doing?

Your graduate journey is where theory meets practice. Depending on your role and project, you could be:

• Supporting mechanical engineering activities across live infrastructure projects
• Interpreting engineering drawings, specifications and technical information
• Assisting with the design, installation, testing and commissioning of mechanical systems and equipment
• Supporting engineering assurance, quality processes and technical coordination
• Helping to identify and solve real engineering challenges
• Working with suppliers, subcontractors and multidisciplinary project teams
• Building relationships with customers and stakeholders
• Contributing to the safe and responsible delivery of energy infrastructure

You’ll be encouraged to get involved, ask questions, challenge yourself, and take on greater responsibility as your experience and confidence grow.
