·        Supporting project safety, quality and environmental performance, taking on increased responsibility as your experience develops.

·        Providing technical information and support to other Engineering disciplines and project functions.

·        Building strong stakeholder-management skills through collaboration with clients, contractors, suppliers and multidisciplinary project teams.

You'll have:

·        An accredited bachelor’s or master’s degree in Civil, Structural or Mechanical Engineering, either completed within the past two years or due to be completed before the programme begins.

·        A minimum 2:1 honours degree or equivalent qualification, either achieved or expected.
