Civil Engineer in Training

We are seeking a motivated Civil Engineer in Training to join a professional engineering team and develop practical experience across a range of civil infrastructure and construction projects. This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career engineer who is keen to build technical knowledge, work towards professional accreditation and contribute to the successful delivery of high-quality, safe and sustainable engineering solutions.


Working under the guidance of experienced engineers, you will assist with the design, assessment and delivery of civil engineering projects, including roads, drainage, earthworks, utilities and structural elements. Your responsibilities will include preparing calculations, drawings, specifications, reports and other technical documentation; supporting site investigations, surveys and inspections; reviewing contractor proposals and construction progress; and helping to ensure that works comply with relevant standards, legislation and project requirements. You will liaise with clients, contractors, consultants and other project stakeholders, attend meetings and site visits, and contribute to resolving technical issues as they arise. You will also maintain accurate records, monitor project information and support the preparation of cost estimates, programmes and risk assessments.


Applicants should hold, or be working towards, a degree or equivalent qualification in Civil Engineering and have a sound understanding of fundamental civil engineering principles. A willingness to work towards professional registration is expected. Some experience gained through placements, internships, graduate projects or site-based work would be advantageous, as would familiarity with engineering software and computer-aided design packages. You will need strong analytical, organisational and communication skills, along with the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. A proactive approach, attention to detail and commitment to health, safety, quality and environmental standards are essential. The role may involve travel to project sites, so flexibility and a willingness to work in different environments are required.
