This is a fantastic opportunity for a Graduate Technical Engineer who wants variety, responsibility and genuine hands‑on engineering experience, rather than being stuck behind a desk.

Your role will include:

• Supporting the delivery of engineering projects across the UK.

• Providing technical support to customers and contractors by phone and on site.
• Reading and interpreting engineering drawings, schedules and specifications.
• Supporting the preparation of RAMS for non‑standard equipment.
• Assisting with mechanical and electrical design requirements for projects and bids.
• Supporting the creation of I/O lists, load lists and commissioning estimates.
• Carrying out quality inspections on bespoke and non‑standard equipment.
• Working closely with manufacturing teams to resolve technical issues and improve equipment.
• Supporting product development, compliance and quality assurance.
• Delivering customer training on equipment following installation.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a graduate who is practical, proactive and keen to develop their engineering career.

Ideally, you’ll have:

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• A solid understanding of fundamental mechanical and/or electrical engineering principles.
• Strong problem‑solving and troubleshooting ability.
• The ability to read and understand technical drawings and specifications.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.
• A proactive and organised approach to engineering projects.
• A willingness to travel to customer sites and get hands‑on with equipment.
• Good knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel and SharePoint.
• A full, clean UK driving licence.

Desirable Experience

Previous experience isn’t essential for the Graduate Technical Engineer role, but exposure to any of the following would be beneficial:

• Previous engineering or manufacturing experience.
• Process equipment or industrial systems.
• Water treatment or similar industries.
• AutoCAD or other CAD packages.
• Control systems, PLCs or electrical panels.

What You’ll Get

This is a role designed to give you real engineering exposure from day one, including:

• Full involvement in projects from concept through to commissioning.
• Hands‑on experience across mechanical, electrical and process engineering.
• Extensive site and customer exposure.
• Training on the company’s core equipment, both theoretically and practically.
• The opportunity to contribute to engineering improvements and standards.
• Direct exposure to senior engineering leadership.
• A CSCS Card for access to major building sites.
• The opportunity to occasionally travel across Europe.
