About the Role

** Graduate Electrical Building Services Engineer**

At Mott MacDonald, we believe buildings are more than structures—they’re places where people thrive.


Your Purpose

Shape the spaces where life happens. Build a better tomorrow.

As a Graduate Electrical Building Services Engineer, you’ll be at the heart of transforming empty shells into vibrant, safe, and sustainable environments. Your work will include designing systems that power, protect, and illuminate the spaces we live, work, and connect in.

  • Contribute to the functional design of buildings—ensuring they’re efficient, cost-effective, comfortable, inclusive, and inspiring.
  • Help shape smart infrastructure and resilient systems that meet sociology needs while reducing carbon emissions and embracing digital transformation.
  • Work on projects of global importance, including:
    • HSE Pathfinder (Decarbonisation)
    • Glounthaune to Midleton Twin Track
    • RVH Belfast Energy Centre
    • Greater Dublin Drainage
    • Mina Zayed Port Strategic Grain Storage

What We Value

  • Teamwork & Collaboration – You’ll work with passionate professionals who support and uplift one another.
  • Diversity & Inclusion – We celebrate different perspectives to drive better outcomes.
  • Integrity & Trust – We do what’s right, not what’s easy.
  • Wellbeing & Support – Your mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing is a priority.
  • Growth & Development – Access mentorship, learning opportunities, and career progression.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
