An established multidisciplinary consultancy is looking for a Graduate Engineer to join its Nottingham team.
You will work across the Civil Development and Structural Engineering teams, supporting experienced engineers with design and project delivery.

- Assist with drainage, infrastructure, and associated development work
- Support structural design alongside experienced engineers
- Attend sites, monitor progress, and gather project information
- Report observations and potential issues back to senior engineers
