Graduate Civil Engineer - Maidstone

We are currently looking for a Graduate Civil Engineer to join a close-knit civil engineering consultancy in Maidstone, Kent.

This is an excellent opportunity for a recent Civil Engineering graduate who is keen to start their career, gain practical experience and develop into a well-rounded civil engineer within a supportive consultancy environment.

The business specialises in drainage, flood risk, highways, roads, and wider development infrastructure, giving you the opportunity to gain exposure across several areas of civil engineering rather than being limited to one discipline.

The Role

  • Work alongside experienced engineers on a varied portfolio of development and infrastructure projects, gaining exposure to projects from early planning through to detailed design.
  • Assist with drainage, highways, roads, and infrastructure design across residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments.
  • Support the preparation of technical reports, drawings, drainage strategies, and flood risk information.
  • Gain experience working on projects for a range of clients, including some particularly interesting work associated with Premier League football clubs.
  • Support engineers throughout the project lifecycle while developing your understanding of design standards, planning requirements, and construction.
  • Work closely with the wider team and gradually take on greater technical responsibility as your experience develops.

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.
