A little bit more about your role and the team…

As a Graduate in our Fire Engineering or Energy Solutions team, you will contribute to projects across sectors including commercial, residential, healthcare, education, transport and major mixed-use developments. Depending on the team you join, your work could involve fire safety strategies, fire-engineered design and technical assessments, or heat networks, low-carbon technologies, energy performance and decarbonisation.

You will be part of a multidisciplinary project team, supported by experienced engineers and specialists, and given exposure to real-world challenges. Depending on your team, your work may include supporting technical analysis and design, reviewing drawings, preparing calculations and reports, contributing to fire strategies or energy studies, attending design meetings and site visits, and helping develop practical solutions for complex building projects.

Our teams work on a wide range of projects, which could include major commercial and residential developments, healthcare and education facilities, transport infrastructure, heat networks and large-scale regeneration programmes.

What we’re looking for

  • You will have, or be on track to achieve, at least a 2:2 in a relevant bachelor’s or master’s degree. 
  • You will be ready to start work in September 2027.
  • You will have an interest in fire safety, building performance, low-carbon energy or net zero, depending on the team you apply to.
  • You will be curious and motivated to explore challenges, contribute ideas and collaborate with colleagues from different disciplines across project teams.
  • You will be keen to learn, take ownership of your work and development, and build your skills with support from experienced colleagues.
