Summary
Graduate Engineer
£30,000 - £36,000
Maple CrossWe are ambitious - and keen to hear from determined and motivated people like you, who are interested in developing their engineering experience in the world of utilities.
We’re proud to have been appointed to a new 8-year Framework with Thames Water. As the UK’s largest water and wastewater services provider, Thames Water plays a vital role in ensuring a reliable, sustainable network for millions of customers. We're excited to support their long-term vision by delivering essential infrastructure that strengthens network resilience, boosts environmental performance, and meets the growing needs of the region.
We have a great opportunity for a Graduate Engineer to join our team working on the Thames Water framework, supporting the delivery of clean water projects. This role is ideal for a recent graduate looking to develop their career within civil and construction engineering, with full support and mentoring.
Working under the supervision of a Senior Engineer or Project Manager, you will gain hands-on site experience and play an active role in day-to-day engineering activities across live projects.
Here are some of the activities you will be involved in…
- Assisting with the setting out of works on site
- Completing daily site records and maintaining accurate engineering documentation
- Recording as-built information and supporting quality control activities
- Producing weekly site progress reports
- Supporting the Senior Engineer to ensure designs are delivered in line with specifications and health and safety requirements
- Liaising with internal and external stakeholders to provide project updates
- Checking that equipment is calibrated, in date, and compliant with company and manufacturer requirements
We would love to hear from you if…
