Job Description

Due to the continued growth and expansion of our Nuclear Team in our Warrington office we are looking to increase our technical workforce and are seeking to recruit a Graduate Electrical Engineer to join our EC&I - Electrical Control and Instrumentation Team for a September 2025 start.

About our Team

At AECOM, our Nuclear Team provide multi-disciplinary consultancy to the nuclear industry in both the nuclear new build and decommissioning sectors. In the new build sector, we are providing engineering support to the developers of the UK’s fleet of new nuclear power stations. In the decommissioning sector, which requires considerable new build to enable decommissioning, AECOM provides support to the entire Nuclear Estate in the UK, including multidisciplinary design support at Sellafield; the early-stage development of the Deep Geological Repository; design and development of waste storage and disposal facilities; and multidisciplinary design support to nuclear defence projects.

With an interesting and expanding pipeline of both international and UK based projects, as a Graduate EC&I Engineer, you will be required to both manage and report on your packages of work with support from Senior EC&I Engineers in the team, who will support in your continued development.

The Nuclear Team are currently engaged on many highly complex nationally significant projects for different clients. AECOM have been engaged from RIBA 1 through to RIBA 4 phases. These projects require AECOM to provide multidisciplinary design and engineering expertise to collaboratively deliver complex and involving projects. As part of this role, you will be involved in the production of distribution and control designs, control system development and design, general building services designs, general & emergency lighting design, data and communications designs. In the graduate role you will liaise with project the team and produce different design packages depending on the design stage.

Here's what you'll do:

• Preparation of designs deliverables using CAD and BIM software tools
• Preparation of design documentation; basis of design, functional/user/procurement requirements and specifications
• Develop an understanding of highly regulated industries
• Develop an understanding of Safety Cases and the supporting documentation.
• Develop an understanding of risk and the preparation of designer’s risk assessments
• Under supervision complete site surveys.

Enjoy the Perks

At AECOM, you'll enjoy a range of core and personalised benefits designed to support your future and well-being, customised to fit your lifestyle. Take advantage of career development opportunities, our flexible hybrid working model to ensure a work-life balance that suits your lifestyle, technical practice networks, AECOM University, and volunteering days.

Here is what you will get from us!

On the job support and learning

When a graduate starts at AECOM, we pair them with a senior member of the team who will guide and mentor them through their initial period working on live projects and business development tasks, to support with any technical queries.

Graduate Development Programme

Our 2 year graduate ADVANCE programme is designed to help you build your career in AECOM. You will attend a number of instructor-led training sessions where you will meet and hear from people across the business and take part in a series of interactive activities to equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to succeed in your role. Alongside the instructor-led elements of the ADVANCE programme, you will also engage with an online curriculum via AECOM University and have the opportunity to join the ADVANCE webinar series. We will provide you with all the support and tools you need to achieve your professional development ambitions, which may include Chartership with the Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET).
