Concrete Preservation Technologies Limited (CPT) is looking for an enthusiastic Graduate Materials & Corrosion Engineer to join our growing Technical Department based in Long Eaton, Nottingham.
This is an exciting opportunity for a graduate with a passion for engineering, materials science, or chemistry to begin a specialist career in the investigation, assessment, and protection of reinforced concrete infrastructure.
No previous industry experience is required. We provide comprehensive training, ongoing mentoring, and a structured development program designed to help you become a specialist corrosion engineer.
Working alongside experienced engineers and industry experts, you will develop practical knowledge of reinforced concrete deterioration, electrochemistry, corrosion science, and cathodic protection systems while contributing to major infrastructure projects throughout the UK.
The Role
As a Graduate Materials & Corrosion Engineer, you will:
- Learn the mechanisms of reinforced concrete deterioration
- Assist with the interpretation of laboratory and site investigation results
- Support the production of technical reports and corrosion assessments
- Learn how to design galvanic, hybrid, and impressed current cathodic protection systems
- Analyse half-cell potential surveys, chloride profiles, carbonation depths, and other durability testing
- Assist with the preparation of technical specifications and design calculations
- Attend sites across the UK to inspect reinforced concrete structures and support technical investigations
- Work closely with our survey teams and partners to develop practical repair strategies
- Develop into a specialist corrosion consultant capable of independently designing corrosion protection systems
