What you'll bring

• A degree in Civil or Structural Engineering
• A genuine interest in structural design and problem-solving

• Enthusiasm to learn and develop professionally
• A proactive attitude and willingness to take responsibility
• Ideally, some relevant placement or work experience - but potential matters too

What's on offer?

You can expect:

• Hands-on experience across interesting projects
• Mentoring from experienced structural engineers
• Support towards professional development and chartership
• A friendly, collaborative working environment
• Excellent opportunities to broaden your technical knowledge
• A St Albans location with easy access to London and surrounding areas
