Where you could work

As a Civil or Structural Engineering graduate, you'll enjoy variety within your role. Working on big and small projects experience different areas, such as consulting, design, or overseeing construction. You can join the following business areas:

Infrastructure:

Help us reimagine our places and spaces, from transport-hubs to university campuses, industrial facilities, and critical flood defence schemes. Across all our markets, we touch every aspect of the social and economic framework. The type of work will include creating specialist civils drawings, detailed tasks/design and client-facing roles on some of the industry’s most complex civil engineering projects. You'll be sharpening your skills on the latest digital technologies while pressing towards a carbon-neutral future.

Nuclear and Power: 

Join the teams that have been engineering, delivering, managing and decommissioning nuclear facilities worldwide for over 20 years, from new builds like Hinkley Point C to on-site engineering for clients such as EDF. We're driving evolution in the areas of offshore generation and transmission, energy from waste, electric vehicle infrastructure and the integration of smart grid technology. And we're also proud to play a part in reaching net-zero by 2050.  

Transportation:

By combining traditional engineering and new innovative technologies, our teams make journeys easier, safer, and more reliable while supporting a greener and more productive society. Our work spans the full transport ecosystem, across Bridges & Civil, Highways, Rail, Central Rail Systems Alliance, and local transport. You'll feel a sense of pride working with our clients such as Highways England, Network Rail and Transport for London to name a few.
