2025 Summer Placement – Electrical Engineer
Nationwide
Are you an aspiring design engineer looking to make a difference in the world around you? Do you want the chance to grow, learn, and be supported by industry leaders? This ever-changing world will be shaped by the buildings put into it, and we know it’s often the newest minds who have the brightest ideas.
As a leading international firm of consulting engineers, we didn’t build a 150-year legacy by standing still. The built environment is where our design-led work can carve out a better future for the planet and its people. For us, it’s about putting heart, soul, innovation, and sustainability into the buildings we work on.
We play a major role in driving sustainable development. We help create some of the most innovative low-carbon buildings, pushing the limit on what’s possible. Our projects cover almost every sector – from healthcare, residential, and retail, to defense, arts & heritage, and education – ranging from small studies and reports to large-scale developments valued at more than £4 billion.
What you’ll be doing:
If you are looking to develop your skills and experience in the industry whilst on your summer break then apply for a placement opportunity with us! Working on live projects, you’ll have a chance to make a real impact.
You’ll work within a design team gaining valuable insight into engineering systems design, improving your practical application of engineering theory, and gaining an introduction to the fast-moving world of construction and consultancy. By the end of your placement, you should be able to make a more informed decision about your career path.
Start your journey in a career that counts! Our placements typically last between 6-12 months and can provide an excellent opportunity to secure a permanent position with us once you graduate.
What do you need?
Applications are welcomed from students who are currently studying towards an IMechE-accredited Electrical or Electronic Engineering or Power Systems, Control Engineering, Wireless Communications, or Electro-Mechanical degree, preferably in their penultimate year.
A genuine interest in developing a career within the sector, with fresh ideas, enthusiasm, confidence, and an entrepreneurial, creative spirit.
You will be asked to upload your CV and answer a couple of application questions.
Any offer of employment will be conditional upon you providing evidence of your right to work in the UK.
