Graduate Programme 2027 - Structural Engineers
London Fitzrovia | London Wimbledon | Nottingham
Engineer a Better Society
We’re looking for the next generation of change-makers and enquiring minds to join us in Engineering a Better Society.
At Elliott Wood, we believe engineering can do more than solve technical problems. It can improve the places we live, work and connect, while helping address some of the biggest challenges facing people and our planet.
We are engineers and built environment professionals driven by the idea of Better. We inspire clients and organisations to think differently about their spaces – not just aesthetically and commercially, but in terms of the benefit they can bring to people and the planet.
As an Elliott Wood Graduate, you’ll work on diverse and exciting projects, from art installations and community spaces to award-winning buildings and masterplans. You’ll work alongside experienced professionals across the built environment while bringing your own ideas and perspective to the table.
We are a B Corp Certified practice, committed to high standards of social and environmental performance. From the Structural Carbon Tool we developed with IStructE to our collaborative workspace at The Society Building, we believe in backing up our ambitions with action.
Challenging the Way We Engineer
At Elliott Wood, we ask difficult questions: What kind of society do we want to live in? What can we do to address the climate emergency? What will be our engineering legacy?
Our ETHICS framework – Energy, Technology, Health, Infrastructure, Culture and Sustainability – helps us explore these challenges and rethink how we approach engineering and the built environment.
As the next generation of engineers and sustainability professionals, you’ll have the opportunity to challenge convention, explore new ideas and help shape what comes next.
Our Graduate Programme & Academy
Our Graduate Programme builds on what you’ve learned at university and complements it with practical skills, project experience and new perspectives.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
From day one, you’ll be involved in real projects, working alongside experienced engineers and sustainability consultants. You’ll gain exposure to different project types, disciplines and stages of design, from early concepts and feasibility through to detailed design and construction.
Our Graduate Academy will support your technical and professional development through training, mentoring, career conversations and opportunities to work towards your professional qualification.
