Job description

Overview

Engineering Graduate Opportunity in Suffolk - Where Precision Meets Power. Are you a driven engineering graduate with a passion for solving the kinds of problems most people wouldn't dare dream up? My client is offering a rare opportunity to join a highly specialised consultancy renowned for its technical excellence in security, explosives safety, and weapons effects.

Who We Are

Nestled in the heart of East Anglia, their small but mighty team delivers cutting-edge consultancy and testing services across the UK, Europe, and beyond. They lead projects that delve into blast, ballistic, and energetic events—all backed by industry-recognised standards. As part of their team, you'll not only contribute to high-profile engineering projects but also help shape the technical standards the industry relies on.

Responsibilities

Contribute to high-profile engineering projects in security, explosives safety, and weapons effects; support testing services; help shape industry technical standards; work on projects involving blast, ballistic, and energetic events; collaborate with multidisciplinary teams.

Why Join

• Competitive salary (based on experience)
• Profit share scheme
• Private healthcare
• Hands-on involvement in rare and challenging engineering problems
• Active participation in technical working groups
• Supportive pathway to chartership with bodies like ICE and IMechE

What You\'ll Need

• Engineering degree (BEng, MEng, or PhD)
• Solid understanding of structural, civil, or mechanical analysis and compliance
• Familiarity with material properties and construction principles
• A problem-solving mindset, particularly for non-standard challenges
• Self-motivation and a strong work ethic

Desirable Extras

• CAD skills
• Experience in dynamic analysis and finite element modelling
• Understanding of blast and impact effects
• Computational fluid dynamics knowledge
• A collaborative spirit with confidence to work independently and within multidisciplinary teams

The Catch

You'll need to live within commuting distance of their Suffolk office—and yes, your own transport is essential. And because of the sensitive nature of our work, security vetting (including criminal and financial checks) is a non-negotiable part of the process.

Ready to engineer the future of safety and impact?

This is not your average graduate job. The role offers the kind of challenge—and the kind of niche expertise—that most engineers only dream of.
