• Work as part of a team of engineers and technicians, helping to deliver projects on time and within budget.
• Attend site surveys and client meetings to build your confidence and capability in a client-facing environment.

• Gain exposure to the financial aspects of project delivery, including invoice approval, billing, and debt collection.
• Support a range of technical tasks including structural inspections and surveys, feasibility studies, programme preparation, and reviewing designs produced by others.

You will join the fast-growing Rail Team in Basingstoke, and will be supported and supervised by the more senior engineers within the office to further your career and work in close conjunction with the other offices.

Ideal Profile:

• A minimum of a BEng in Civil and/or Structural Engineering, or another relevant discipline.
• Ideally, a graduate member with either ICE or IStructE (or be willing to work towards).
• You will have a keen interest (or experience) with Structural Design.
• Whilst we are open to fresh graduates, ideally you with have experience with the design of civil and structural schemes. Additional experience with the design of bridges is a plus.
• Experiences in supporting projects for Network Rail will be an advantage.
• Fluency in English language, and the permanent right to work in the UK.

The ideal candidate should be proactive, dynamic and intuitive, happy to work on their own initiative as well as being a team player and interacting comfortably with the other staff members.

At Crouch Waterfall, we’re committed to investing in our people through tailored training, mentoring, and real opportunities for progression. Whether you're aiming for Chartership, developing leadership skills, or gaining broader commercial exposure, we’ll support your growth every step of the way.

You’ll be part of a supportive team with an open-door culture, where your voice is heard and your ideas matter. Our engineers work across sectors and disciplines - with proven success helping individuals move from buildings and commercial projects into infrastructure and heavy industry.

You’ll also be trusted early on with real responsibility – contributing to technically complex projects, engaging directly with clients, and gaining experience in areas like project management and commercial delivery that go beyond the typical graduate scope.

With a strong presence in the rail and construction sectors – and as part of the wider Vulcain Engineering Group – you’ll benefit from international connections, long-term stability, and a truly collaborative culture.
