Graduate Project Engineer
Graduate Project Engineer (Mechanical / Construction Focus)
Overview
We’re working in partnership with Therma Mech on a retained search for a Graduate Project Engineer to join their growing mechanical delivery team.
This is a hands-on, field-based engineering role suited to someone who wants real exposure to live project delivery rather than a purely office-based position. You’ll be working across UK sites on a weekly basis, supporting the delivery of mechanical and construction projects from early stages through to completion.
This is a practical engineering role where you’ll learn by being on the tools, on site, and directly involved in how projects are actually delivered.
Key Responsibilities
- Support delivery of mechanical engineering and construction projects across UK sites
- Work on live project environments with regular weekly travel
- Assist with project coordination, installation, and on-site engineering activity
- Support management of materials, subcontractors, sequencing, and site logistics
- Get involved in practical problem-solving and technical delivery on site
- Contribute to end-to-end project delivery from planning through to handover
- Work closely with experienced engineers and project teams
