Job Type: Graduate

About Us:
Hoare Lea is an award-winning engineering consultancy with a creative team of engineers, designers, and technical specialists. We provide innovative solutions to complex engineering and design challenges for buildings.

Irrespective of the scale or complexity of a project, we provide a full range of MEP, environmental, and sustainability services, bringing buildings to life and ensuring that they perform in operation as well as they look.

In addition, we will provide you with structured support to achieve Chartered Engineering status if you so wish.

The Role:
As a graduate engineer, your day-to-day tasks will vary, as we’ll expose you to all aspects of our work so you can discover what suits you. You could be:

• Working on live projects from day one.
• In a variety of sectors from healthcare to hotels.
• Producing detailed designs and drawings.
• Using the latest computer modelling software: Revit, Dialux, Relux, and Electrical OM.
• Engaging in continuous CPD and learning opportunities.
• Designing and creating Electrical Circuits, Wiring, and Lighting.

Communicating will span all of these, as we regularly liaise with project teams, meet clients or end users, and attend collaborative meetings.

You will receive a dedicated mentor and supervisor and the best training to support you through your development with us.

• An expected or achieved 2.1 or above IET or CIBSE accredited degree or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering or similar.

• Ability to work in a team environment and independently.
• A friendly, ambitious, and confident individual with a flexible and resilient approach.

Our Benefits:
To reward your hard work and commitment, we offer both core and flexible benefits, a competitive salary, and industry-leading training and development to support you throughout your career.

How to Apply:
To apply, simply complete a CV profile and submit your application.

We are unlikely to progress applications where sponsorship is required to obtain a Tier 2 (general) visa as we expect to be able to fill all our roles with candidates who have the right to work in place.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion:
We are committed to being a place where underrepresented individuals and communities are not just included but where marginalised knowledge and experience are valued, amplified, and harnessed. We strongly encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, including women, people of the Global Majority, LGBTQ+ individuals, disabled people, neurodivergent people, and those from all other underrepresented or marginalised groups.

Adjustments and Accommodations:
If there are adjustments or accommodations that we can put in place to ensure you can participate and give your best at any stage of the recruitment process, please let us know.

We are committed to enabling a healthy work-life balance for all employees. We welcome applications from candidates seeking flexible working arrangements to suit their particular needs and lifestyle, including part-time, term-time-only, and remote working.
